No, and that is why the NDP is necessary. The plan is working. Obviously anyone who still has a number of years of waiting must be provided with an alternative in the short term and in an awful lot of places this has happened down to mobile phone companies and their low-earth orbit satellite systems etc. A piece of work is being done by the mobile and broadband task force and the Commission for Communications Regulation, ComReg. We need to ensure that we get the information out to people who are panicking because they see they must wait three or four years. We must make sure those people are aware of the alternatives that are available. Beyond that, that piece of work and engagement on acceleration needs to happen because it is definitely a lot better for everyone if we can deliver in six years rather than seven years.
