Is anything planned for the wireline side?

So what does everyone think about the new CRT?

Most of the industry has gone or is going non-commission. Multiple DMs and RVPs telling reps that the non-commissioned trials are the best performing trial stores. Verizon will no longer be commission by half way through the year. The low performers... — read more
