Hello all:
Andrew T. was kind enough to e-mail me the text. Just in case someone else had trouble getting to the text , here it is.
Note: we all knew that the contract was for 1.7 million dollars without the satellite communication software. Part of the delay for delivering the BB was that the customer decided to add the capability to change the advertisement through satellite communication. We never knew how much extra was the customer paying for that. Now we know , it is 200k more revenue to ADOT.
Thanks Andrew
