One part of the scheme that we hope takes off, please God, is a great increase in the Internet of things. We hope to see every dairy farmer sending in his milk figures in via Internet and every child using it to do his or her homework. There would, however, need to be a check that the network has a 25-year capability to cope with the increase in the volume of data that we want to encourage. Was there a concern in that regard or does the contract guarantee that sort of backhaul capability within the provisions?
