Kodak has the expertise and the tools to make this service a success. The company has been a primary supplier to this industry for years and understand the concerns of aerial service companies. No other company can bring that kind of experience to the table. Gross expects the new venture to be profitable for aerial companies. This service is a great opportunity to expose our source materials to a much broader audience than our current customers.
Aerial companies are also potential customers for the imaging service.
In the future, we will check this image library first. Our many environmental and engineering customers eagerly anticipate the ability to access and purchase images from an Internet-based library retrieval system. There's no doubt this service is going to change the way companies think about aerial images in the future. The Kodak Earth Imaging site will offer enhanced capabilities later this fall. The service is currently limited to U.S. and Canadian locations and U.S. and Canadian customers.
