Sherman;
As a rural CLEC I disagree with you. I think that EFM over
fiber is at least as important as EFM over copper. I think it is
short-sighted to only concentrate on the legacy network.
Realistically, all your constituents have to deploy an all fiber
network over the next period. Otherwise, competitors will do it for
them.
