He was laughing at Telus trying to fool people into believing that they are going to pull fibre into every house in the city anytime soon. He said that it's either a logistical nightmare or horribly cost prohibitive. It was in the context of making fun of the 19 year old door-to-door Telus guy who tells people that fibre is coming "really soon".

He also talked about how 5G is a game changer and how the market will eventually move away from wires entirely.
