There is a TOCC meeting on Thursday. This is the liaison group overseeing the implementation of the Traffic Control Centre and I'm the TCUG rep "advising" on technical issues. I would welcome any comments on any matter that you would like me to raise. There is currently a debate regarding the cost of the Traffic Information Highway.
