We basically don't run the network. Those are the service provider carriers. And they can be, if you take North America as an example, there's hundreds of carriers that do the local last mile. out in the rural areas, and then there's obviously the Verizons, Comcasts, AT&Ts of this world, you know, that then facilitate all of that connectivity to the consumer.

And to most of the enterprises, we provide the technology that powers their networks, basically. And so for them to get that high-speed connectivity... You know, it's Siena's technology that goes on the ends of those fiber cables that allow the speed and throughput and continue to drive the capacity. And what we basically do, on a single piece of fiber, we virtualize that fiber, Eli.

So instead of having that little thread, you know, which is about, you know, a hair thread in... weight and distance, basically we can multiply that many, many times. So hundreds of virtual fibers because of the technology that we use around it. And that's enabled the whole scaling of the internet. It's enabled the scaling of this global connectivity phenomenon that we have.

And it's at the center of scaling for AI connectivity, you know, now and into the future as well.

It is the virtualization. So where you've got one piece of fiber, it makes it look like multiple fibers, you know, and we can, you know, depending on the distance and what you're putting down it, it can be, you know, hundreds of fibers, which is actually physically manifested as a single fiber. And so, you know, you don't need to put more fibers into the ground, et cetera.

You can just, you know, with the technology we have either end of it, scale it up. So it's the virtualization of fiber, which has really enabled this, you know, almost seamless work. marriage between the applications to your point, the driving of all the network traffic with the actual network.

And, you know, we've grown through our technology development, the ability to go do that faster than Moore's law. So, you know, we now have a new piece of technology, call it WaveLogic technology. that can do 1.6 terabits of data down a single piece of fiber.
