Mr. Peter Hendrick:

That is the present telephone service. Ultimately, however, those legacy copper wire networks are going to be switched off and everybody will move to fibre networks. We are creating a fully-indexed network, where every premises in the intervention area is mapped and has a dedicated optical port on a pole. We built in additional capacity so we would have spare ports on all those poles to accommodate any new homes built. In addition, we have also built spare fibre capacity to meet future demands for the next 25 to 35 years. Therefore, we will not have this challenge in connecting homes in the future. Every quarter, we get a GeoDirectory update detailing what homes are now in an intervention area and we then add them into our work programme. If an area has already been built and completed and we have moved on to another area, and then someone builds a home in that completed area, the information comes into the GeoDirectory. We then assess if we can connect that house to an available spare port or if we will have to build additional infrastructure. We would have to go out and survey again, because that house was not there when we did the original one.
