I accept that but in doing so a network is being built that will, perhaps, pass another 400,000 because Eir has indicated in its rolling out of the 300,000 that it has passed another 30,000 to 40,000. It is fair to assume that to get to the 540,000 premises another 300,000 or 400,000 premises must be passed, paid for by the taxpayer, which we accept is necessary, but it creates a long-term value in the company that would not have been characterised heretofore.
