There is an intermittent phase between where one company finishes work and another begins. I made a lot of noise when it became clear that NBI was going to run a parallel network alongside the existing one. Has NBI looked again at dovetailing onto the end of a line? People in this room know a lot about what Eir did when it passed 300,000 premises, then truncated it and left a black box, with another ten houses up the road. I assume Eir assumed that, when it won the contract, which it did not since it did not even go for it, it would just attach a length of fibre to continue from there. Those of us who do not have specific training that NBI has assumed that NBI would just dovetail at the end of that line. It has not chosen to do that. Has NBI given further thought to that? Would it speed work up?
