| YEAH!!!!
I dunno if it helped but in the paper version of the notices to
shipping, there was a survey where they asked if they should continue
as they were doing or if other companies should also produce the maps.
I filled it and on this part expressed my opposition to such monopoly
and encouraged competition in that domain. I bet I wasn't the only
one!!!
I don't have Echarts 'cuz I sure wouldn't equip myself with a system
that makes me the captive of one supplier. Lets now see what they will
come up with. If it's the same kind of crooked deal as the NDI
monopoly... odds are I'll stick to paper! But I appreciate in their
statement that they give consideration to the taxpayer. Then, maybe
this happened only because NDI didn't "pay the rent"! This I didn't
know. Thanks NDI for shooting yourself in the foot!!!

Lets hope they get it right this time.
The last thing we need is another monopoly.

| CHS is all too aware of the problems in the last deal. The second
paragraphs of the release is pretty specific. CHS is a monopoly of
sorts. What is needed is a viable public private partnership in which
the public benefits.
I am sure that CHS is looking at other models in other countries.
