Fair use rationale for Image:GXS 2color pos.gif

Image:GXS 2color pos.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The GXS 2color image is the company's primary brand logo and has been in use since 2004 worldwide. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.32.163.74 (talk) 02:04, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

GXS has not disclosed ongoing litigation and potentially pending regulatory actions currently being contemplated by FCC

The GXS authors have avoided all controversies associated with the company's fraught history since Private Equity of Francisco Partners and other PE firms have been infused into the company. There are questions regarding the company's policies on cooperative message routing with competitor / peers. Almost any other issues that could relate to an expected ruthlessness in business conduct could be brushed under the carpet as "in the game", but this commenter posits that interconnection policies lie at the heart of a company's "corporate persona", especially one as large as GXS and one so richly funded.

The breakage of an industry's long-held policy of cooperative interconnects and settlement free message traffic exchanges between peers is especially heinous - as the entire market value is derived from its ability to cooperatively mesh competitors and allow users to pick the network they so choose - according to their free will. With the advent of Private equity, GXS began in 2002 to start its practice of interconnection arbitrage against a tiny competitor 1/450th its size. See here

The latest in GXS legal entanglements is the case of Loren Data Corp v. GXS Inc, where the GXS behemoth did prevail in having Loren Data Corp's antitrust charges dismissed - without any hearings conducted. Loren Data Corp plans to appeal the Judge's decision to foreclose any opportunity for discovery, has hired more experienced antitrust and appellate counsel, etc.

The public should be informed by a footnote that GXS is mired in controversy over many issues, but the management's actions against the EDI industry's innovation brain trust is abhorrent.
