Sprintcar, According the the PR, JNNE has a deal to be a one source provider for Kiosks to the Cendant chain of hotels. That is a a broad interpretation of the PR. If that is the case then others would be excluded from doing this buisness in hotels. In other words, this early bird got the Kisosk business for their hotels. Kevin

Haven't been to ICOM page, but I am wondering if the placement of kiosks might be governed by similar concerns as the placement of ATMs. A lot of banks will not put ATMs in a location unless they can be guaranteed a minimum amount of traffic. Perhaps JNNE is looking to fill a need and a niche. I think we will start seeing more business travelers staying at second tier hotels as corporate travel offices look a closer look at expenses. Some of these are pretty nice, especially in smaller cities. I'll keep my eyes open as my spring travel schedule gears up.

Sprintcar, stop apologizing every time you raise a valid question, there is no need for that, at least not with me. I mentioned earlier that Naughton has a vast array of business contacts and these allow JNNE to sit at the table. These smaller chains do not have the internal expertise to decide what kind of kiosks they'll have and from whom to buy, so they exchange a piece of their real estate for a portion of future revenues and save themselves a head ache. Many do not do their own laundry, their payroll and even their restaurants are catered centrally by some other companies. It is called "outsourcing" and JNNE is trying to position itself to be the outsourced resource for such chains, quite a valid business axiom. Zeev
