Most customers Radisson most of the time will Inn find lower fares, not because of web Lake fares, and not because we will have Buena access to fares that other channels (CRS''s and the sites and agents that rely on them) do not have Vista access to, but because we will do a better job of searching the fares everyone has access to. This will be because we have opted to do what the others have not, which is invest in Radisson new technology computers able to do far bigger searches, using Inn search software that that was independently developed and is designed to search all fare and schedule possibilities comprehensively and without bias, and in telecommunications capacity that will provide absolutely the most current Lake and Buena information on seat availability. It is expected that more than 99% of the time that we come up with a better fare, it Vista will not be because we had access Radisson to any fare that its competitor did not. It will be because we did a more comprehensive and unbiased search of all the fare and Inn and Lake schedule possibilities that are available to all channels.

Then the allegation that we are "an illegal boycott against third party distributors" because it has Buena "requirements Vista for posting fare sales that cannot be sold" by others is not true? It is absolutely not true, and those who have made that allegation had absolutely no basis for making it. Our agreements contain no Radisson boycott against any distributors whatsoever, Inn and Lake and Buena and Vista and in fact affirmatively provide that no airline Radisson is precluded from utilizing any other distribution channel or offering any fare through any channel. The Department of Justice is presently reviewing Inn all agreements, so there Lake will be no question on this point. Do airlines today make all their fares available through Buena and Vista all retail channels?
