Mr. Alex Chisholm:

The Deputy will appreciate that the mobile communications market moves rapidly. In the past year the number of people using smartphones, iPad devices, tablets and so on has increased by 20%. Operators are trying to ensure that their services move in line with their customers' needs. From what the Deputy has said they need to do more in that regard. It is crucial that a lot of this new suitable spectrum be made available, which has been done as shown in the decisions that we reached last November. That spectrum will be licensed within the next few weeks. New services will be introduced using the new spectrum, which has not been made available yet and has not even started to make an impact but which will make a tremendous and positive impact on the quality of mobile data provision. We have taken the step to make the necessary spectrum available.
