Economically Disproportionate - Any new supplier would have a mobilization fee whereas the incumbent would not. This would cause a duplication of costs for WM5G. Significant inconvenience - The change would cause major disruptions to 331 residents involved in the project, not only in loss of continuity of service but also to their wellbeing as a new service provider would have to enter their homes."
