To me, it makes far more sense to include localized support all rolled in with the other localizations which have been made available recently. Fully themed areas can be difficult to manage on a full time basis, especially if the immediate benefits are not apparent. How close were these local providers to the SL community? Exactly what did they provide which LL or similar resident groups could not? And what is the relationship between these local providers and the Global Provider program? Is it a program which they are paid to be a part of? or is it the other way around?
