AMT: What is the trend for asset leasing and exchanges going forward?

SH: Operators and service centers will continue to manage operating expenses, improve operational flexibility, and lower the overall cost of ownership. The benefits of participation in lease and exchange pools can produce significant results. But the first and perhaps most difficult questions for the operator or service center to ask are: Are we fully utilizing that expensive capital intensive asset sitting there or is there some unanswered conviction to let it remain there? And what is that really costing us?
