On the Minister's last point, given that historically it has been almost a geographic accident that we have had availability of analogue services from the BBC and other British channels and that this will be a different contractual arrangement in that whoever is managing the multiplex system would have to contract with the BBC, will that have significant cost implications in terms of channels requiring a payment for access to such services? What are the likely implications for the Irish customer viewer in that regard?
