We need that done as soon as possible. There has to be a big emphasis in particular on the Minister and the Department to play whatever part they can to ensure, following the court proceedings, which we hope are positive in the context of facilitating this move, we can actually deliver upon an acceleration.

The figure we get fixated on is premises passed, which is 63,652 according to this document in front of us. The NBI is also talking about 74,000 "built", as it is referred to. Will Mr. Malone go into the specifics of "built"? I assume the actual difference in that is the verification process. Is this the Department and ensuring the NBI gets payment?
