I was asking about thresholds in relation to the concept of the significant contribution, and I think that integrates well with questions that others have asked. Has the government given any undertakings or signals to Facebook, Google and the news media around thresholds that might be attached to the significant contribution? We have been talking about regional media. Can a threshold be met if, for example, it only included news outlets with a national footprint as opposed to those who have a regional footprint?
