On the make-up of Mr. Matthews's organisation, he has said that it is a trade protection association. In his written statement, he said that one of its objectives is to "work with wholesale providers of backhaul fibre-optic network capacity to achieve better pricing and terms of access for RISPA members." Would that have to be done individually? There are issues in respect of cartel activity and so on. Will Mr. Matthews explain how RISPA's structure is an impediment or advantage in that regard?
