Under the “Promised – integrated kSI2K hours until this quarter” an estimate is provided of what the Tier-2 would have expected to provide to this quarter on the basis of planned installations. “Static kSI2K” shows what would currently be expected if all purchases planned to this quarter had been made and implemented. The actual columns show what has been delivered.
