Clayton,

Did you leverage things like micro trenching for this project?  I may be
mislead, but I thought micro trenching these days has helped drive the cost
of doing this down fairly significantly.

The cost is not low.  Trust me on that.  I've been involved in a pretty
massive suburban fibre deployment for the past decade... I expect we'll

doing it.Â
