The link in the article to the MIT report doesn't directly link to any report. I wouldn't trust this article until the report is accessible and verifiable.

It is how its done today.

Every semi-big or big corpos gamble their money trying to be the one coming on top and capture the market.

So it is not surprising to see that.
