Briefly but lets kick it over to lawrence once again on the tsunami and everything in the bay area. Remember that last one we were scared it did damage here. Doesnt look like thats going to happen. Today looks like a decent day outside. Starting off with patchy dense fog in the valleys. Some fog being reported in the napa valley. Visibility down to half a mile there. It is going to make for a great weekend. A little chilly to start, though, the temperatures dropping off. A lot of numbers down into the 40s and even some 30s.

But before we do what i want to talk about is another transition thats been occurring and thats directly related, and thats the transition of our networks from copper to fiber. Of course its generally understood today Everybody Knows that fiber to the home is the best Broadband Network possible and one that many are striving to obtain. When verizon started to roll this out ten years ago it wasnt so obvious and we got a lot of questions about why we were doing this. Who needs 30 megabits per second .
