I am clear now on the money aspect, which was a result of the decision to try to have an effective competition, the merits of which are questionable. That is the cost side of it. What does having a procurement process that requires everyone to create a completely new infrastructure do to the roll-out period? What is the timeframe from the get-go to completion? Take the example we discussed, of that string of developments that already has Eir's 300,000 broadband. What kind of timing are we talking about, in order to overlay that again or find its way back into somebody else's back hall?
