Regarding the return on the investment, while everyone would agree that BT is doing a very good job, the call service would appear to be a cash cow when we consider the level of money, €3.86 million, it started with in 2011 and then it got €9.42 million in 2012, €9.3 million in 2013 and €7.76 million in 2014. When we consider also its profit margin of €750,000, which was in excess of the 4.2% rate agreed plus the additional percentage allowed, plus the fact that it can write off its initial investment, is it not the case that the risk was minimal and value for money was very poor?
