  1. Can you provide more details on the progress of your multiyear cost-cutting targets, and how confident are you that EBITDA growth will outpace consolidated service revenue performance, especially amid potential operational challenges?
  2. Given concerns about a potential volume slowdown in the wireless industry and limited room for further pricing actions, how do you plan to sustain growth in your mobility segment, and do you share these concerns about volumes and pricing power?
  3. With the anticipated $480 million one-time payment related to your wireless network transformation in the back half of the year, can you elaborate on what this payment entails and whether it was fully contemplated within your original guidance?
  4. You mentioned a 500 basis point market share advantage in areas where you've deployed fiber; could you share more concrete data supporting your argument that convergence is a critical strategy and explain how AT&T is uniquely positioned to capitalize on these economics beyond market share gains?
  5. Considering recent network outages and data breaches, how have these events impacted your go-to-market strategy, and do they pose any risks to your future financial performance?
