		<description><![CDATA[Joe,

I know there are lots of people who would agree with you and lots of people who would disagree.

How do you feel about the public sector getting involved in areas that are not currently served with private providers and/or not likely to get services any time soon?

Or how do you feel about a public/private partnership? For a small company I think the initial investment in the infrastructure can be an insurmountable barrier – but with government support I think it can be possible to get a local provider.

Thanks!   Ann]]></description>
