I just wondered why a dealer couldn't set up a "shadow" company that acts as a reseller. The dealer buys from Motorola, but sells all the product to the "shadow" company. This way all the data sent to Mot' would point to the shadow, not the real customers. As far as the real customer data, well, only the Shadow knows... (tm).
I suppose that the dealer agreement prohibits reselling, or some such limitation. But if the shadow company were to, say, specialize in selling (barely) used radio equipment...
