Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

It is a 25-year contract because there are three aspects to it. The winning bidder who is successful will have to design, build and manage the network. That means it will all be built in the first stage, whatever number of years that takes. We know that people will iteratively and incrementally connect to the network. People will connect as each area is built from the top of the country to the bottom. It is inevitable that many new homes will be built over the coming 15 or 20 years. We are requiring the winning bidder to honour the contract for 25 years so that this company is required to connect someone who builds a new house, someone who does not get a broadband service until the tenth year, for whatever reason, or someone who moves house. It will be a contracted connection.
