The issue with the NFL Network is one that has been ongoing for some time, and I can say that regarding that channel, we share your sentiment. We would love to add the NFL Network to your channel lineup, and we are still amidst negotiations, but we have to be sure that we are securing a deal that is not only fair to us and the NFL Network, but, most importantly, is fair to our customers. We would prefer to carry the channel as a premium service that can be purchased by subscribers who want it. The NFL Network says that we should add it to our lineup, thus increasing the rates for all of our customers as a result. There are many of our customers, including senior citizens on fixed incomes, that would find a hike in their cable rate to be unjust, and, in some cases, just too costly. As you can see, this would alienate a large segment of our customers when a much simpler agreement can be reached. For this reason, we will continue negotiating until this channel may be added in such a way that will not exclude the customers who do not have an interest in it.
