I think this was more a statement that they will be making film for a while and to reassure the base that there will be film. The infrastructure is a big deal. Even losing 15% a year we are coming off a base of billions so with minimal investment in new silver technology film becomes the quentesential cash cow. In the U.S. the Fuji sales guys have cracked some of the grocery store and drug stores who had been all yellow. So, I believe that Kodak is losing market share much faster than Fuji.
