Vern,
Are you sure that you quoted Terry Wohlers correctly? In my recollection he did say something about there being too many service bureaus, but he didn't mention anything about actively trying to decrease or "limit" their number on purpose. I believe that he was trying to suggest that there were currently more service bureaus than the market could presently support. If there is any limiting to be done it will be accomplished via the market (is there any other way?), and it will have nothing to do with whether we feel it is "good" or "bad" to have many or few SB's.
As for Terry's prognostication that increased competition is going to drive some SB's from the market, I won't pretend to have an informed opinion on that idea.
