ALI MOORE: Well there is talk of a proposal that companies like yours would be able to transfer assets into the new company in return for a stake. But are you saying there should be compulsory acquisition of existing infrastructure?
PAUL BROAD: No, I'm certainly not saying that. I'm saying that you got a market for infrastructure out there today. Now the amount of fibre running between Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne is phenomenal. And the way technology's now changing with fibre, the amount of capacity is well beyond what we ever could imagine. The amount of fibre we have in the streets of Sydney, in around the CBD, Telstra, Optus and others have make me think that we have more than enough capacity for large parts the economy. But we certainly do in regional Australia, in certain key sectors of Australia, we don't have capacity. And they should be the attack, they should be the ones done first, and then we use the infrastructure we've got to leverage forward in the next five or 10 years.
