Hi Jared,

As of yesterday's planning meeting, the decision was to allow until
COB yesterday to hear back from one last contractor about any option
and estimated cost for the broadband hookup.  If we didn't hear back,
the option for upping the hotel b'band would be off the table.

There may be other purposes for that funding that you or other
planners had in mind.  Now that the option of purchasing extra hotel
broadband through a contractor or Marriott at least is no longer in
that pool, does that change anything?
