I thank our witnesses for attending. I did not get a chance to participate in the site visit. The way this place works is that we have a direct clash today, and that is often the way things work. I thank the witnesses for the information they have been providing in recent months. They will be aware, however, that people care most about delivery and connections. Hopefully, we can address some of those aspects.

An issue was raised with me by a local authority official. Are the standards which apply to NBI concerning the erection of poles unique to the company? Is there a particular challenge in that regard compared with other utility providers? If there is, does that pose a challenge for the company?
