Listen, I am not trying to be antagonistic, but: Why does this take so
long? PAIX-NY is a MFN facility, so, presumably, there is MFN fiber there
and ready to go. 25 Broadway is a MFN building, and has been for some time
(as in, many people have MFN fiber there). I can't comprehend how this can
take so long.
