so it's not that mentorship and advocacy is not important, but the only way you can really sponsor isou have the power to actually make a decision about someone's career. so this is what i talked to people about the i have a five in five role. it's important i think to have external sponsors. because when i got asked to do the impossible, which was and asked for the presence of intel and the president of the united states, true story, two years ago, to do the impossible. that took people who i advocated and sponsored inside of intel and it took people that i advocated and sponsored outside of intel. and so what i talked to all of my protÉges is is make sure you have five and five. if you have five people inside this company that will change their schedule for you in 24 hours to help you on something. because if you do, you have a powerful network. and if you fight people outside that will do the same thing, and so i think one of the things that i would close with for the sake of time, is i think the importance of this book is to understand it's a joy responsibly of what we are talking

the work that ivan has done in the work he has done for years, and i am beholden to him, and the mentorship to me. if you talk about the opportunities here, now that we have this asset and one verizon, and i talk to the team that we will trim the limbs around the tree here and things that are not performing will not be part of the portfolio to invest in things to drive the growth that we are excited to tap here. >> i am curious though, lowell, your view of the marketplace, because it seems to be a historic year again with softbank taking over sprint, and t-mo and sprint getting together, and how can you grow the 100 million subscriber level more and maintain the margins with the competition? >> well, david, i point out there's only one reason that softbank bought sprint. they see potential in the market. there is a reason why deutsche tell cecom is doing what they a doing is because they see the o potential. we are bullish, because nobody has the assets we have, and if you believe in the converged solutions that over the top is going to be in play and the machine-to-machine for health care

and also told them about mentorship and the importance of having someone at the end of your work experiencewho could vouch for you to read these students, 50 of them graduated on time. they were paid $10 an hour throughout the summer and they now have a professional reference they actually end up getting full-time jobs in these programs. so what we are trying to do is make sure that there are opportunities for the young people who are being shut out of the economic ladder and also try to find ways to encourage job promotion and education. one of the things i often talk about is how we sometimes forget that there is a whole industry of building trade treaty and two year college degrees going into the trade those are good ways to get a good paying jobs. we often talk about the four year universities and professional white collar jobs as the only. we are trying to promote to year colleges, the business trade coming electricians, carpenters, you name it. but also deal with the young people and try to get them work experience of that in the future they are in fact employable. >> thanks for that,
