I have some questions about the legislation, but let me start with, specific Oh, no.
0:13:33
Actually, let's start with intro.

I know that we may have some responses from Lincoln YC, but maybe these are some questions that you can answer.

According to the most recent amendment to the franchise agreement between, OTI and CityBridge, 25% of kiosk advertisements are allocated to the city for promoting civic engagement.

Does the city does the city program does the advertising program utilize the full amount of allocated screen time?
Robert Barbera

I would have to take that question back to the franchise division and get back to the committee.
Jennifer Gutiérrez
0:14:20
Okay.
0:14:21
Do you know who decides what content is displayed on the kiosks by the advertising program?
Robert Barbera
0:14:27
Again, I would have to take that back to the franchise division.
Jennifer Gutiérrez
0:14:31
Okay.
0:14:34
And then, if you can take another question back to them is, how do they determine the location and timing of the ad placement?
0:14:45
Okay.
0:14:47
Let me just go through these questions also about Link NYC, and then, you know, we'll wait for the response back if you're if you can't answer them.
