Very good. Concerning the limitations with exchanges, this issue arises in rural areas especially and particularly with families building on greenfield sites. Prior to going into politics, I was not even aware that there was an issue if a farmer's son or daughter, for example, was building a new property and wanted to get a phone line installed. There are areas, though, and Inch happens to be one of them, where telephone lines are being shared. In one case, a wire is going across a river. What is NBI doing on that issue to ensure that everybody can get an Internet connection into their homes? Is the issue of exchanges outside the remit of NBI in respect of providing direct connectivity to each individual home in intervention areas?
