OHL

Mark IV are selling their multi-protocol Janus readers and some IAG E-ZPass style active TDM (time division multiplexing) transponders to OHL (Obrascon Huerte Lain) Concesiones, the toll concessions arm of a big Spain-based toll operator for use in Mexico. OHL will deploy the equipment on new all-electronic tollroads under construction in central Mexico.

There's a rumor been circulating that Jose Maria Lopez was "pushed out" at Cintra US and that was the reason for the quiet departure - no announcement. We thought maybe he was disillusioned with the political turn against concessions in Texas.

This is a big personnel change we should have picked up months ago even though no one made any announcements. Jose Maria Lopez de Fuentes (Lopez) one of the major figures in PPP/private sector tolling in North America for over a decade quietly departed Cintra late last summer (August we think) and his offices in Austin Texas.
