- I don't think this is what is usually meant by "barrier to entry". Isn't it more often an artificial, anti-competitive barrier? In some cities, a barber or hairdresser must take a six-month course and pass an anatomy test - not because of a desire on the part of the city fathers to ensure competence or safety, but rather to protect the jobs of established workers. --Ed Poor Talk 13:57, 26 December 2009 (EST)
