Joe, this is a real company with a real product. I have not followed the AVBC story that closely and it is not to say that AVBC doesn't have a real product, because they do have major endorsements for Celebrity's. But, WTAA and its marketing approach, key licensing agreements, and acquisitions makes this company much more attractive in the long run. We should be seeing more licensing agreements happening in the near future. Stephen Nickolas, CMO, was in meetings all day yesterday on more strategic alliances with major companies. All the companies they have contacted to date are extremely interested and excited about this concept. They are all asking themselves,' "why didn't we think of it first?" Just look at the recent PRs. It is already a list of some key players. 1. Star Trek, which the Trekies are going to love. 2. Schlotzky's, which is growing by leaps and bounds opening up new chains daily. 3. Renoir Sparkling Water, which is attracting major attention from the media. The company is getting calls left and right for interviews on this one. This one is going to be huge. I believe this is the one that is going to put them on the map. 4. U.S Olympic Ski team and the X treme sport people: This a list of the people involved who we will see on the bottles at one time or another in the near future.
