Your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 11 addresses the amounts by which average revenues per Premium Customer and the number of Premium Customers grew. Also, you continue to state that growth in public cloud services revenues and enterprise cloud services revenues was "primarily" driven by these factors. Please clarify the extent to which revenue growth has been attributable to generating additional revenues from existing customers versus acquiring new customers. In this regard, it appears that existing customers have been the primary driver of revenue growth.
