Pretty much all the Big Companies will have operations in all the countries in the report. I can tell for a fact that my company does. So I don't think the big companies argument holds water. Btw, the report has the criteria for measurement and the criteria are fairly objective.

That's a total of $350 million for the 7,000 publicly traded companies in the U.S. Is this another case of an analyst pulling numbers out of the air, or will we really be paying a high price for earlier DST?"
