Increasingly, that is becoming ancient history. I have had difficulty in getting an answer to this question. Ministers said the reason Ireland was following the gap or concession model was fibre degraded, that it would be a wasting asset by the end of the period and that it would involve reinvestment. I asked for evidence to that effect, but nobody has yet got back to me with it. Does ComReg have any evidence that fibre cable technology is a degrading asset? Is there any evidence from any other jurisdiction or example to show that it is a degrading asset?
