Mr. T.J. Malone:

As we are building out the network, we cannot just specifically pick pockets or individuals around the country. We are building a brand new network. That network is an inward-outward network. We have to move out from where the backhaul network is there, and as we pass them, we absolutely will. To use the analogy, it is like putting a light on top of a Christmas tree. One cannot turn it on, unless one has power to plug it in. There is no point in building them unless we have something to feed it back to turn it on and connect them.

We feel the pain of the people affected. I have been around the country and met many of them at local authority meetings. This issue keeps arising. We will bring them on and serve them as quickly as possible. We cannot, however, specifically take individual pockets and give them priority.
