So if you play that out, it's going to be a long time before we can bring a competing option to consumers and break the cable monopoly. |
The demand has not been super high yet. |
There are too many avenues of delay in the current system. |

We try to make people sticky by moving people onto the broadband platform and getting them into the bundles. |
We're not trying to usurp or go around the municipalities. We're just trying to get a competitive option quicker. |
