Mr. Mark Griffin:

I would not say they are lies. I would say that they do not have a full command of the situation. There was a very good report published by ComReg last Friday and it is up on its website. In fairness, I suspect that members would not have had an opportunity to look at it. ComReg is very clear that 5G is a complementary technology to fibre to the home. Our own internal technical experts have told us that 5G is complementary to fibre to the home.
