Mr. Mark Griffin:

As part of the design of the entire contract, there was a call at various stages over the course of the procurement process to identify infrastructure that could be reused. That has been identified. We are using, for example, the State-owned metropolitan area networks. We are using other private infrastructure backhaul infrastructure to use it.
