I wish to check on one thing in that context. It might appear to be a stupid question, but I will ask it anyway. Are there any circumstances in which the national broadband plan that is being rolled out could be outdated three, four or five years hence and where satellite could overtake it? We are discussing an interim solution, so I have to ask the hard question. One can only have an interim solution if the ultimate solution is by far the best solution. It is a very hard question but I will put it to Mr. Campbell first and then to Mr. Fitzpatrick and to Mr. Carvalho. It is a very straightforward question and one that an ordinary person would ask.
