Build out outside?
Brett Sikoff
1:47:23
Outside of the core of Manhattan.
1:47:24
So, 90 Sixth Street in the Outer Boroughs, there's no payments to the city for five years for fiber that's deployed.

Okay.
1:47:33
Thank you.
1:47:34
Thank you for that.
1:47:45
Okay.
1:47:49
So, I mean, it doesn't sound like you have it, though, but there there's no areas where infrastructure is is missing.
1:47:58
It ranges.
Brett Sikoff
1:47:59
Where there's no broadband infrastructure whatsoever?
1:48:01
Virtually nowhere in the city.
