Mr. T.J. Malone:
The underground fibre cable tends to be about 10% of the overall network build. If we were originally looking at 90,000 km to 98,000 km in total, we envisage that somewhere around 10% of that will be underground. Somewhere in the region of 9,000 km to 10,000 km of that will be underground.
