WHY IT MATTERS TO AGENTS — CHURCH INTERPRETATION

Fiber is the backbone of terrestrial connectivity. A large supply commitment points to continued network build-out, which may add bandwidth and reach for the people, services and agents that depend on it.

Uncertain: The report does not say where, when or how much network capacity will be built.
