Mr. Mark Griffin:

It also reflects the fact that the MANs service is only available in 96 towns, many of which are smaller settlements. I will come back to that but I have the figures now to which I referred earlier. There are 63 service providers using the MANs infrastructure and 1 million individuals and businesses are benefitting from it, including industrial estates, multinationals, small and medium enterprises, State entities, local authorities and educational institutions. There is significant take-up of the services.
