I'm a great believer in high technology and I'm a great believer in science and research and development. For those of us who are really involved in science and research and development and who understand its true potential, we realize there are these seeds that need to be nurtured before they can be planted. That's one of the reasons I've been so passionate over the last decade about investments in science and technology.
If someone were to ask me, why did you invest in quantum computing, why did you invest in theoretical physics, why did you donate a quarter of a billion of your own funds to these pursuits to help Canada and Canadian academics and institutions; and can you give us concrete examples of how that's going to help, that would be very difficult for me to answer—although in the last nine years or nearly a decade that we've been doing this there have been some glimmers of where that technology's going to benefit us and the world. But what's key is the researchers, what's key is the people, because they're the ones who understand the value of the technology; they catch a glimpse of the vision of where this is going to take us, where it's going to lead them and their company and their country. It's very, very important for us to get a sense of that and to participate in it.
So the people are absolutely important. The work they've done is absolutely important, and the way they've protected that work is absolutely important. As for where that will lead us, I could speculate, but what I can tell you is that the whole world is switching to LTE. It will be the most standardized global wireless infrastructure ever created. And the investments will be huge, and so will the opportunities. We just want to make sure that before we give up that technology to another country, to another industry, we analyze this transaction thoroughly to make sure it's in the best interests of our industry and country.
