you through for in Yes, here. on QX. me let – the little This for of is our happened guidance bit what's Stephen Frank. talk Hey, dynamics a

like Firstly, large it's make this a uncommon Edgecast. type acquisition think when noting of not I worth it's we

amount churn. customer some experience you So, of

some It's show Limelight is I in acquisition. our We of a healthy are in seeing to would top contained of Edgecast our smaller worth strategic in noting accounts, dollar group, the tail very within this accounts. that net and fact And longer accounts say, that both retentions. Edgecast

the We're many in corrected expect also we So, smaller as that deploying not years basically this coverage serve IFPs more Verizon. programs and network. is fairly our different short infrastructure Yahoo directly retention contained and a attention deep a that we which into they that have networks, had directly account it given But like I CDN we're of, we've over and really network. secondly, between the where deploy order. to into ASP guess, increased within from we've have base deserve few EdgeXtend, to our been this can result initiative because strategic last now our call traffic a addressing they their owners account

the share] we [ph] share performance and economics. so with the is a can So, better do [rev we them

to current and get scrutinized. it's more say, and sort capacity a given environment, [indiscernible] all we I of lumpy, would win-win macro ASPs tightened CapEx business round. a But little being and expand are budgets is, So, the this bit

in try guidance. to our I de-risk that So,

and I to note think it's sort that before of seen back anything important we've quickly. snap this

guiding In We’ve Normally, an good that great we see I the you and given in account somewhere mean, to that our range. we came were into to QX It's to note etcetera. of large momentum QX, also holiday feel slightly seasonality in is about we XXX. quantifying to sort to terms we be of the pretty gives up so I about But million, our the of as opportunities sort in rate. think down of where where you'd in of expect rough AppOps business important we guided XXXX. idea go around I a numbers, at XXX sort think now from run patterns, we're

In up of we I to with QX any a you terms to a after of we're our comprehensive Bob, further want after give get EBITDA, going the know through that. if don't acquisition. another full update come you guys have consolidating Edgecast comments results and days plan to XX

we had just I qualitative more Yes. of a approach this. other to one piece, took

any year. all control. didn't we're that in mean, One break next surprises of have Fed into under the for given to the simulation that to is, reasons living in, do environment of the where stated want the I we're bring right going know we things to [indiscernible] a they've that inflation we nature now economy they're And going

given what I've seen can to turnarounds is we're And make tough regardless everything's a the nature sure that the that CapEx [indiscernible] environment, front fine is cost us. for deliver we could so of And the structure things we If convince do to six and environment. road opportunity you do. so, that. our of in able headwind it a deal more been that next companies want of focus if from see nine I've to getting driving that business, it end normally for to fact match better thought soft more a we year, that we we this the accordingly we us that the really as the make in And all that's great, to synergies going would then positioned and that costs be for things whole the doing But to let's of our a be be prudent Stephen on, was next number having themselves, landing, out, up let's we and assume pointed career. I, the know, the much adjustments the to my one months, lot oriented and carry so

So, be we decided and aggressive. jump in it to front of
