We have it already. All right. The BT letter to us states:
A key point we would like to make not addressed in the Analysys Mason report is that the European Commission State Aid Approval precluded the MSE (Managed Service Entity running the MANSs) from being owned or controlled by an authorised electronic communications operator. This approach was adopted so that the provider of the MANs had the function of infrastructure provider to assist competition in the market rather than to directly compete with the market, which is what has happened.
