our public wireless access. When customers connect to our wireless network,
they receive a welcome html page. This page lets them know they have
successfully connected to our wireless system. We run Google Analytics on the
wireless welcome page which tracks the number of users that bring out that
page. The only information we gather is how many people have accessed our
wireless internet service at our main branch and at each of our satellite branches.</span></font></p>
