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.
