Speaker: Now, San Francisco is well known at this point for having a wireless -- municipal wireless strategy, working with Google and EarthLink, and I know that you are behind a lot of that strategy, and then formulating the plan, and making the deal. And there seems to be some controversy over the city right now, whether that deal should go through, whether it should be a private sector that the city uses, or whether the city does it itself. And can you give us some light into that controversy?
>>
Speaker: Yeah, I think it's a fundamental difference of opinion or philosophy between those who feel that government should run and do everything, and those that feel that we should use our private sector partners to help us to the things that we're not necessarily so good at. And that's really what happens -- is happening here. You've got a core set of supervisors, in our Board of Supervisors, who strongly, strongly feel in municipal ownership and control. And you have other people, such as the mayor, who believes that it is in the best interest of the city to try to find other people who can enhance what the city does. And so the controversy really is a fundamental, philosophical issue around government.
