First, the highly skilled technicians and operators. Then the vast amount of incredibly compli* eated switchboards, wire, poles, etc. Much of this equip* ment is still scarce and will take time to produce. We can not reach our goal of faster, better service—with enough for everybody—until we do receive sufficient equipment.
