Ms Barbara Delaney:

That is a good example. We have a fixed-line universal service obligation in place at present, which was put in place when the original network was rolled out. It was ubiquitous but there was a danger that some people still might not be served or that their service might be withdrawn. Were that USO to be extended or revised to cover other provisions, there is a process whereby one would analyse the new service and see who is providing that service in the market and so on. As Mr. Blaney said earlier, an open process would then be held to see whether there are any interested parties. No party can be excluded and therefore it is not a de facto that one provider or another would be the universal service provider. If the need for a USO has been established, there is an open process to see who might be interested in providing that USO and the process would move on in that respect.
