Ms Jenny Fisher:
The target would be the baseline from which we would measure the impact of any other issues that arise in the contract. We must always demonstrate whether it is the result of something within our control or outside our control. The important thing is that we do not get paid until we actually deliver the milestones so we still have to go through the test strategy with the independent certifier, demonstrate how the network has been delivered and confirm that we have all the financial evidence in place before we receive any of the subsidies. The subsidies are only paid when we deliver.
