David Barden

Hi, guys. It's David Barden from Bank of America. Thank for taking the question. Lots to go through today, so I'll let other people kind of touch on a lot of stuff. First would be, could we talk about the spectrum-secured bond that's in the market right now? And I think I'm most interested in understanding kind of how you think about loan-to-value collateralization, and what this exercise will tell us about using spectrum as a funding vehicle on a go-forward basis for the business?
