I have a quick follow-up question. I thank Mr. Matthews for his response which makes a lot of sense. On putting it to the test, to what extent has RISPA or the providers it represents managed to penetrate into some of the areas in question? Has there been success in that regard? To an extent, an experiment has been running in recent years. If members of RISPA have managed to provide broadband in certain areas in a viable way which is worthwhile for the company, that is a success story in itself. If that has been done, are there things such as the glitches which I mentioned which could quickly be dealt with to enable the company to provide broadband in that way, which would turn the conversation around?
