They certainly outstripped initial estimates that we put together prior to the competition commencing.

That certainly does not parallel previous estimates.

Certainly this is a decided advantage for AT&T ( T : Research , Estimates ) to have this wireless strategy already in place, so Bell Atlantic is not going to just sit by and let AT&T beat them.

That was a plus. There was more competition. It made it better for all the students who participated. It makes for more excitement any time you have more teams.

That certainly does not parallel previous estimates. It may be that communities where blacks live tend to be heavily policed. Black parents may rely upon police more (than other groups) when their kids go missing. There also may be simply more missing-child episodes among black families.

There's certainly competition. Everybody's trying to make the best wine they can.
