The reinvestment was required to keep it maintained and up to speed. My question is whether there is going to be an equivalent here to maintain the broadband. Mr. Griffin need not specify a figure, but in respect of what has been done in the MANS to ensure the system continues to be maintained, namely, a percentage of revenue going to maintenance and upkeep, is something similar going to be provided here? What mechanism is in place to verify the gross receipts or the gross turnover in MANS, as I speak, and in this new proposal? How does the Department know it is getting its 10% reinvested in MANS? What is its measurement, verification and audit mechanism in that regard?
