So, there is a possiblity that the build-out may increased to more homes once this current project is done.
This is what I've always thought: project lightening is a 5 year, 3 billion pound project. If this returns them 4 billion, why would they stop at 5 years? Obviously it's a waiting game they won't see the money back instantly, but if they forecast it will bring more money in they will carry on. They will stop once the forecasts say there's now too much risk of not earning money from this, so we will stop
