From what we have seen about Marriott, they could care less about Tivus' competition. If they could stick a thumb in Lnet's eye to get them to worry about the competition in order for them to drop their price a penny, THEY WILL DO IT. It's called competition. They will use Tivus to scare the pants off the others and benefit in the long run when it comes time to negotiate a price, or dump lnet for not competing. Remember, Tivus does not have the capacity to refit 100 hotels a year for now, but Marriott is still negotiating prices for their hotels with the others. I see Marriott telling the others, "You either step up to the plate with new services that benefit us or we will drop you like a hot potato!" Nothing stays the same in tech and we are a part of the world of big business. JMHO. R3
