We continue that model and look towards our growth in the southeastern portion of the United States as a direct result of that steadfast, strategic focus. Over the years we have been able to quickly adapt to emerging market demands by strategically reallocating resources toward those initiatives that provide the most positive impact to our client base. FiberLight continues that trend by investing in the wireless backhaul space in 2012. There has never been a better time to be in our business.
