Obviously, we are not going to attempt to enter a premises in a foreign country but we do have supervisory control or jurisdiction over the operators that are physically located in or licensed to operate in Ireland. We can issue orders to them to configure their equipment or to provide us with information about their equipment, regardless of where it is located. If we do not want them to use particular software in their network, no matter where it is located, we can order the operator to do that.
