In the national broadband plan, and the BCPs come under that plan, can I take it that the reason the BCPs are located in these "remote areas" - and I do not accept anywhere is remote in Ireland because nowhere is more than 30 or 40 miles from a major town or city, compared to the north of Finland, for example, where people would be laughing at us for saying that - is because they are going to be in the tail end of the roll-out of broadband? The process is starting from the inside and moving out, and the further places outside will get it last.
