The Chairman has been very generous so at this point, as the market continues to change and the number of potential consumers continues to deteriorate as they are picked up by private operators, is the Department giving options to the Government aside from this plan? The number of premises that will be affected seems to be going down and I presume the price will go up. We have not been told the price but I am making that assumption.
