I ask the witnesses to clarify on Senator Wall's example of someone being within 500 m of the fibre. What is the technical possibility of getting a point-to-point wireless connection from the neighbour? What is the legal situation in that regard? I ask Dr. O'Connor to respond to the last issue the Senator raised on mobile phone coverage and give us an update on what in God's name has happened to the mobile phone and broadband task force, which was supposed to be dealing with these issues. Who wants to take the first question?
