Great. On Analysys Mason, I remember when the report was produced in 2018, there was considerable criticism at the time about the lack of transparency in pricing and on competitive practices in respect of the metropolitan area network services, MANS, contract. I remember it coming from BT and probably others. Following the publication of that report, almost 12 months later an announcement of an immediate reduction in the costs was made. Obviously, the object of the NBP is to pass houses and offer people a connection. While it is not that each house or premises is going to be connected, for it to be sufficiently attractive, it has to be cost-effective for the end user. Is that the work that Analysys Mason is doing? Has that work been updated? What are the findings in respect of the actual end user costs?
