Mr. Peter McCarthy:

Every time we connect someone to the MANs, we could have to do a dig. A MAN is a ring. If BT or another company came along and stated that it wanted to connect Joe Bloggs or such and such a company in a town, it could mean us having to dig 500 m to that premises to connect it. That type of direct connection to a MAN is always an investment and stays with the MAN. It is an ongoing investment of possibly millions of euro per year.
