00:00You said that 1,600 towers and that you want to make sure that all of them go up online.
00:07Right now, how many towers are there?
00:09You can check with MCMC, the exact number.
00:12But that's, for Janila Phase 1, we have 1,600, more than 1,600 towers.
00:17Not all of them are completed, not all of them are on air.
00:21So our intent is...
00:23When will you get to that?
00:25It should be ready last month.
00:28But it's not. That's why we're not happy.
00:34Janila Phase 2 will take some time.
00:37We expect between 2,500 to 3,000 sites.
00:41So it might be double the number of sites for Janila Phase 1.
00:46And it will be more challenging because they will be more remote.
