At one point during harvest, we were paying more to transport the grain from Clayton to the Gulf than we paid for the grain.

We shipped 60 to 70 percent of what we normally would have expected to ship out of this harvest.

I know I'm going against the popular grain because very few sites have a paying clientele, but I don't think free is the operative word, it's value. People are hesitant to pay for something on the Internet because they're afraid two weeks later they will find something better for free.

I am encouraged by the resumption of grain movement along the Mississippi River just one week after grain transportation was virtually halted by Hurricane Katrina, ... Clearly, there is much work to be done but I am confident that remaining obstacles will be overcome to resume all activity in a timely manner. We are assuring our international customers that we expect minimal disruptions.

We realize that it's more than transport. Getting a video packet from point A to point B has to be as easy and spontaneous as making a phone call. We've integrated services that mimic what you're used to in the telephone world into the video world. We call it VOIP Plus; it's what VOIP will be when it grows up.

Not generally. It has shifted from one point to another at times, but they were all in the same general area. So we've had violations in this area every year at one point or another.
