I want to congratulate Hiawatha Broadband for thinking outside the box.

My question about this project is about how costs were cut in half from the original estimate. Is the network smaller? Are they planning to make use of other fiber assets? Business feasibility studies are made up of lots of assumptions that can only be verified later. Project cost is a very critical assumption and that big of a change must impact other assumptions as well.

Thanks.
