And basically, you know, it needs to get terrestrialized to the nearest, basically, area where it comes down into the... terrestrial, typically fiber. To get really high speed, you need to use fiber. Wireless has some limitations around that. So basically, until it gets to any mobile application, it's really objective is to get terrestrial into that cell tower as quickly as possible.

And if you have an inquiry, depending on what it is that requires a different continent, that goes down through the cell tower and out across the sea and back to you. But, you know, that's all invisible to us all.
