Interop is horrible and it delivers less than their cableco competitors.

For MDU's I agree with them! we want to do more FTTP to MDU's part of the 
challenge is the landlords in those buildings don't make it easy to deploy.

On other stuff we have a good relationship with VZ on sharing findings on other 
solutions including G.FAST.

If I remember correctly MDU's are about 15% of the housing stock in the U.K.
