And as I’ve seen, they continue to become a bit more divergent. As someone who
has an access network I see where the majority of my bits go, which is to the
content folks. There’s some to the other part, but mostly people want their
MTV, but since it’s 2023, it’s not MTV, but people want their TikTok,
Metaverse, Game downloads, Streaming service, Email and cloud ramps
(enterprise).
