We looked at a hybrid approach, to use under-seat [DAS] antennas for the first 15 or 20 rows, but the cost was astronomical. We also heard that [an underseat deployment] may not have performed as well as we wanted. I had heard about the full MatSing deployment at Amalie and wondered if we could do that. It is the perfect marriage of cost reduction, better performance and aesthetics. We even painted them black, like little Death Stars. It’s one of the most innovative decisions we made.
