Well, I think it's all of the above in some combination still being worked out, Steph.
I think the very positive thing about this initiative from my... I'm a professor of entrepreneurship at MIT, MIT being a big engineering school in the United States.
And I've worked in business schools in America for 35 years.
And so I like a pro-business, pro-entrepreneurship approach to everything.
