For an inferior service. This is not just a problem in Ireland. Builders involved in residential developments around Europe have figured out that they can do a deal with somebody to supply the service. The Gigabit Infrastructure Act is European legislation that I have worked on in recent years. It has been passed and comes into effect in November of next year. It deals with precisely that problem. It requires competition in those areas.
