“Through the jv, we have a unique opportunity in a capital light way to experiment outside of our traditional footprint to see if there are opportunities between the scale that we bring, levered capital and bringing our wireless bundling relationships to bear, whether the economics could make sense and whether we can potentially expand outside of our footprint. And we’re really excited by the opportunity and the partnership with BlackRock. I think this is an exciting time for the industry, and at a time where timing is of the essence, I think this is a great way to help us accelerate some of our plans.”
