I think certainty, whatever that may be, is what's needed.

If BRG is extended, imo it needs to lead to an end goal. A bridge to whatever new regulatory system will be in place, weather that be re-regulation, franchising, blanket network support or targeted support to areas that still can't turn a profit. Reform BSOG whilst they're on.

Operators will know by now what's sustainable and what needs putting out of its misery.

A 6 or 12 month kicking the can down the road isn't doing anyone any favours.
