Regarding the alleged residual number of premises, I think we might subtract another 30,000. Eir stated there were 330,000 premises, so the imaginary figure is now 460,000. Those will also be hardest places to get to, the most difficult to connect and, I imagine, the places with the least penetration. I imagine they are the most complex premises to deal with. Everybody is going to take the low-hanging fruit first.
