Mr. Peter Hendrick:

When Mr. Malone talks about 47,000 constructed at the end of February and 60,000 constructed at the end of March, once the contractor is finished what we start to plan out is, in advance of finishing, we allow people to preorder. When the contractor finishes we allow the industry then to give connection dates, which typically have waiting times of 15 to 30 days after.
