Well, everybody thinks of Ukraine when people think of low-earth orbit satellites as an alternative infrastructure. But Ukraine also showed that placing too much reliance on a single provider has its repercussions. And so, in Taiwan, we believe in a plurality of providers. For public cloud, we already work with the local resilience computing centers of Google and Microsoft, and hopefully some Amazon as well. That means that when the subsea cables are cut, as in when not if, around Taiwan, then those local resilience routings can keep most of the video conferencing and so on work if both sides are domestic. And in terms of satellite connectivity, we work with both geosynchronous providers, but also mid-earth providers like SES, and also low-earth providers like OneWeb.
