Mark - my understanding is all add numbers are net. I thought the "total" number included all SMR & ESMR. As I thought about it, I think you're right, I think the Q4 add numbers probably don't include PITC. But I do think the model revisions we'll see this week and next will reflect them. SMR ARPU's are small though, $15 or so. Probably not a major impact on EBITDA but the key is they bought these customers and their spectrum pretty cheap. Remember, the 1mm+ new digital customers reflect something like a 15% analog conversion. The rest are cellular steals or new wireless users.
