I'm sure there is some regulation. I rather suspect, however, that
the trucks either pay MIT for the privelege of setting up on campus or
else there's no exchange of money. I really doubt they're subsidized,
and yet I felt they consistently had better, cheaper food with
friendlier service and less waiting time. Somehow they just seem to
work better, faster, cheaper, etc.
