Hey, that sounds like a great new excuse I can use on our customers
that ask us to do something, right up there with "We can't fix it because

You must work for a telco.  Nobody who has to deal with real customers
in a real competitive environment could possibly believe that's a legitimate

out
in the city that has the space and is more than happy to lease it out.
