</span>Could you elaborate on your "Simple to fix..." slide?<br>
<br>
Specifically what do you mean by "going back to the 14 state-based<br>
POIs or directly at the local 121 POIs"?<br>
<br>
Pretty much every other part of your deck talks about the last mile<br>
and the economics of CVC and so on, but this part seems to refer to<br>
backhaul.<br>
<br>
Are you trying to say that backhaul to the 121 POIs will never be<br>
competitive so NBNCo should backhaul to competitive places - namely<br>
the 14 state-based POIs?<br>
