There is nothing to say that if Eir had been sold and with the position of the 300,000 homes being serviced, that the company that bought it would have had the same priorities. It could have been just a small part of its overall business. Do the witnesses understand the point I am making? The witnesses are assuming that this theoretical company would have had the same model, but if the new company did not have that vision, that potentially would have taken 300,000 homes out of the priority for broadband.
