One other data point in the First Six Months of this year, there are only three, but they are the biggest three. Were add decline of 2. 3 billion in the First Six Months of this year, which is the last six month interval. What the i. S. P. Es are doing, is throttling back on their investment. I think this is an issue of Major Economic significance, given how much money is at stake. Under the order, throttling is not allowed.

Even if you do, it does not require agencies to undergo a cost analysis. I agree with you, almost every other agency under the sun is obliged to respect cost benefit. On the day they issued the ord they order, they disclaimedny responsibilities.

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 . But Everybody Knows today that we need much more than that which is why were now up to 500 per second over the fiber and much more to come. So fiber is an important part of the i. P. Transition and a basis for the i. P. Transition. But the transition of voice from copper to fiber doesnt depend on i. P. And thats what i wanted to talk about for a few minutes.
