All right. To sum it all up, not only did our results continue to demonstrate our ability to consistently execute and deliver outsized and profitable growth, we could not be more excited to carry our strong momentum far into the future. So with that, I'll now turn the call back to Cathy to begin the Q&A. Cathy? Quan Yao: Thanks, Peter. All right. Let's get to your questions.

Srini, you talked about sort of this -- the network perception gap and committing to narrowing that. Can you guys talk a little”
