I have one final question. How is ComReg financed? Between the Department and ComReg, will it have enough resources to enforce and police all these extra sanctions and rules it will be given? ComReg obviously wants the powers. We have had representations from other people who are unhappy with the wholesale market. Operators rarely look for more rules, but they are looking for more rules to regulate their competitors. There was an article in the Irish Examineryesterday about how ComReg is dealing with Eir and challenges in respect of access to ducting and so on. How is ComReg funded? Will it have enough resources to use this regime when it is in place?
