several times a day to agent subscribers. To provide added value in Agent Forum, CSTAR
will offer technical assistance in ticketing, reporting, fare construction, taxation and
other day-to-day airline matters. Agent Forum will be similar to other successful e-mail
discussion groups currently operating in the USA, but with a markedly Canadian perspective
and focus.
