Perhaps 3 years ago, at a talk on tape technology, the speaker (from FujiFilm),
said "doesn't matter who's <some format> tape you buy, we made it.  Fuji is
the only tape manufacturer making <some format> tape today".  I think the
format he was talking about was LTO.

Whether my memory is accurate, he was accurate, or if the claim is still
accurate today, I have no clue.
