It's not the "selling addresses" part that gives them unfair advantage.
It's "being able to include them in the service" (as per customer's
demand) that puts them in an unfairly comfortable position.

Basically: there is a race. If you are an old competitor, you can
compete as usual. If you are a new one (less that 3 years), you start
with 10L of fuel and you get a 30 sec penalty every time you refill.
