In the short term, and in the face of limited market visibility, we continue our relentless efforts to decrease our operating expenses and increase our operating income while maintaining a high level of service that is important to our loyal and long term customers. Looking at the long term, we do see customers searching for Operations Support Systems that can supervise and optimize today's advanced and constantly changing networks.
