Oh, it is households.

The 31,000 households, as I mentioned, may be the number that lose service right on August 31. They will be where we know analog transmitters are going to be decommissioned and not replaced. Our belief is that they're going to be decommissioned gradually over a period of years. The CBC has already said that this is the case. After 2013 there will just be no over-the-air Radio-Canada or CBC outside the mandatory markets. That's it.
