I thank the witnesses for coming in and I am sorry if they were delayed, although it might be the same for each group. As time is short, we might go forward and backwards with the questions and answers, and I might get fairly snappy answers, if possible.

I picked up on the part of the opening statement that referred to ComReg. I looked at the Analysys Mason report that was published yesterday, although it is unfortunate it was only published yesterday as it did not leave much time to study it.

The report says there were several complaints in respect of the activity of the metropolitan network area, MAN, contracts. Was BT one of the entities that made a complaint? If so, what were the concerns that prompted the complaint?
