Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I note that the minister's update could change this slightly, but since the inception of the current version of the NBN in April 2009, will the minister confirm that the number of customers added to the fibre network each day is averaging somewhere around seven or eight per day? Will the minister confirm that to reach NBN Co.'s target for June 2013 of 54,000 active fibre customers it will have to go from seven or eight per day to an average of 270 new users per day? Will he unconditionally commit to the Senate that that will be achieved?
