There has been a lot of talk about the number of sites over the entirety of the intervention area. I am talking about the sweet spot that exists somewhere between 60% or 70% fibre and 30% fixed wireless, which might be used in an effort to get the necessary rate of deployment without it costing more. Dr. Yardley can talk about resilience over 25 years but who knows what fixed wireless technology will be like in ten, 20 or 25 years? We are trying to address the needs of consumers who are on the five-year, seven-year or ten-year roll-out. It is difficult because a life cycle has gone by for these people in that period. Is there a way to do this that will give quicker deployment?
