Homestore later purchased iPIX virtual tours for the real estate industry, and then alienated some brokers by not enabling tours from other providers unless they purchase an i-LEAD page. The company recently announced that it would enable other providers. I'm upset about the NAR's silence about this. It appears that we have Bank of America in a contract with Homestore and Homestore has sold something they don't own. The NAR hasn't necessarily been silent.
Some actions speak louder than words.
