Expansion has been ongoing for a few years now with the New Build team starting to find its feet. There is a lot going on behind the scenes relating to providing service to New Build sites, Infilling missed areas and upgrading non digital areas.

The company has already stated that growth is its main target, especially seeing the demand for our service from "non cable" areas, it makes sense to really ramp up expansion.

Of course this all takes time and manpower, and we are learning as we go, but rest assured that network expansion is high on the companies list of priorities.

Hope this helps
