And i like what mark said. Not only are there no strings attached. Really the benefits are targeted at our residents and our visitors, but that the only thing were going to see is wireless connected to our fiber. Were learning that. Were learning that our fine and some of the backbones that weve always had to depend on can be improved on. I have to admit, the new director will also tell you we are behind.
