It is good that we have nailed the concept that it has some intrinsic value. Assuming the high level of take-up outlined by Deputy Dooley, do the witnesses accept that the clawback will achieve the taxpayers' requirements, as happened in the UK? When Deputy Dooley was out of the room I made that the point that in the UK whereas BT anticipated 20% take-up of the service, it was 40%. In his absence, I was drawing the analogy of rural electrification. I think we are only at the margins in terms of this service in that there will be huge take-up of it.
