Mr. Peter Hendrick:

I agree. To build the network and pass the homes, it is approximately €2,000 to pass the homes. To connect the homes, it is approximately €1,000. Those are the primary functions of the subsidy. The third bucket where the subsidy comes in is the rental of infrastructure, namely, renting the poles and ducts of Eir's infrastructure.
