Roger, thanks for your suggestions below.  Very envious of your quiet location....

Unless anyone else has some different views, can I suggest that we call the matter closed, for now.  The key issue is when we can usefully approach Ofcom and the extent to which they will be prepared to react to our request.  There will also be the issue of timing, if an increase is agreed.
