Re: See all the conditions for approval in Appendix C

The merged company will offer retail broadband Internet access service to 100 percent of its broadband
eligible access lines within three years of the Transaction Closing Date.
That metric does include satellite.
To meet this commitment the merged company will make available retail broadband Internet access service with a download speed of 768 kbps to 90 percent of its broadband eligible access lines using wireline technologies within three years of the Transaction Closing Date.
If they're already at 87%, DSL expansion of 1% per year is less than many companies do organically. CenturyTel tells investors they're lowering Capex, so they're actually slowing down expansion over the next three years from my understanding....

Really, these conditions on expansion aren't actually saying anything whatsoever. They're just words on a page.
