We're looking to supply a complete managed solution that touches every aspect: security, quality of service, bandwidth requirements.

We look to be the overall integrator. If a customer wants to go and get their own tags and readers, that's fine. We'll work with whichever scenario. There has to be a flexibility in what we offer.

What we find in these statistics is somewhat alarming, that four years after 9-11, a third of companies surveyed still lack these plans. We find that (many) companies that have these plans don't practice them.

A year after the four hurricanes in Florida, 74% of Florida companies have a business continuity plan. And 72% say it's an important priority.

As we look at the landscape for the next several years, we believe all objects will be networked. Everything will have a relation to the network. We believe that's what the future holds, and we also believe that only the service providers with the broadest reach will be able to support it.

Immediate benefits of convergence include significant reductions in capital and operational expenditures. However, those are secondary gains, because network convergence should be more focused on creating the next generation of services that will enable business customers and partners to increase value.
