Well, good morning, everybody, and welcome to the first company sessions 00:00:05.038 -- 00:00:08.764 of the Goldman Sachs Communicopia and Technology Conference. 00:00:08.764 -- 00:00:13.791 I have the privilege of introducing and hosting Hans Vestberg, who's the chairman 00:00:13.791 -- 00:00:19.259 and CEO of Verizon. Prior to becoming the CEO in 2018, Hans 00:00:19.259 -- 00:00:24.167 worked as Verizon's chief technology officer and president of global networks. 00:00:24.167 -- 00:00:28.921 Prior to joining Verizon in 2017, he served as Ericsson's CEO. 00:00:28.921 -- 00:00:33.228 My name is Mike Ng, and I cover U.S. telecom here at Goldman Sachs. 00:00:33.228 -- 00:00:36.994 We have about 35 minutes for today's presentation. 00:00:36.994 -- 00:00:39.097 Thank you so much for being here this morning, Hans. 00:00:39.097 -- 00:00:41.941 Thank you for having me. 00:00:41.941 -- 00:00:47.590 Hans, around this time last year, you announced the frontier acquisition. 00:00:47.590 -- 00:00:52.658 Verizon's targeting 30-plus million fiber passings by 2028, 35 to 40 million 00:00:52.658 -- 00:00:57.634 over time.

Yes, I will. 00:01:15.080 -- 00:01:20.087 So safe harbor statement, I might say something that is forward-looking, so just 00:01:20.087 -- 00:01:23.444 be aware of that. Let me talk about Frontier. 00:01:23.444 -- 00:01:28.927 So, yeah...
