Dear Broadcast Partners, Colleagues and Friends,

As the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™ is set to come to an end tonight, I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to all those people who have made this tournament a great broadcasting success story. I specifically want to thank:

The Broadcast Partner tour of the twelve 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™ venues is now over and despite somewhat alarming weather, which included record snowfall and closed airports, the event can safely be labeled a success.
