When something is broken, you have to fix it. Thinking about fixing it, planning to fix it, talking about fixing it, convening meetings about fixing it – none of these will actually fix it.

Transmitter powers are inadequate and there are insufficient transmitters, particularly in urban areas. These issues have still not been fixed.
