We are very happy to have someone to help us move the chamber in a positive direction.

(HOT lanes) gives us the ability to provide more overall highway capacity in the heaviest direction. There's more capacity made available in the one direction and thus more opportunities for people to buy their way into the (lane).

We really don’t have concerns. We've always had a partnership with Microsoft that allows us to understand their direction, and when it comes to broad, horizontal, basic services markets, they're great at it, ... If I want to be a partner of Microsoft, I can't have angst around Microsoft going after these broad, horizontal services.

We have a lot of players coming back that should help us be very competitive in Region 1.

Can you tell us if you're getting help in airfare to come down here?

Rib Cage had sponsored it for years. They asked us to come in and help take it to the next level.
