Mr. John McKeon:
The contracts were awarded on the basis of an open procurement and tendering process. Each provider is covering approximately one half of the country but, for reasons of commercial confidentiality, I do not wish to get into a breakdown of funding. I do not want to help either provider to figure out what the other is charging.
