In Tasmania, Telstra announced that they were going to trial 100 people using the National Broadband Network. They had 700 applications; 700 people wanted to trial the National Broadband Network and they can only fit in 100. I cannot explain to you why one RSP has this many customers and another RSP has a different number of customers. You might want to have that conversation with the individual. We are offering a very significant paradigm shift. I have said this publicly before and I have also said I do not know if this model will work. (Time expired)
