With his support, the division went from five years of decline to years of double-digit growth in net subscribers, revenue, and subscriber satisfaction. Today, the broadband industry is being disrupted as legacy network operators grapple with the commoditization of fiber. Every market has multiple fast broadband choices, thereby eliminating speed as a differentiator. In this disruptive paradigm, Wade is the perfect addition to our board.
