Ms Carolan Lennon:

It is the same fibre that we run. We just have extra fibres. There was no speed issue. Someone referred to the bidder not being sure about the criteria or how long it would have the product for, for example, 25 years, but exactly the same rules apply to that regulated product as apply to our poles and ducts regulated product. The bidder is happy to use the latter, so I do not understand why it would not have been happy to use the passive product.
