English: Thank you for those questions. Russell George didn't mention the fact that in committee last Thursday morning, he pressed me as to when my next statement would be, and I promised him it would be before Christmas. So, I was rather hoping you'd give me credit for having got there really quite rapidly, only two days later. In terms of the take-up, we have independent research to show us what is possible and ambitious. And with all new technologies, there's a standard curve that these things take, so around 29 per cent at this point in time is about what you'd expect, and then that accelerates as technology beds in. Our independent research shows us that somewhere between 35 and 50 per cent is a realistic estimate of what we might expect. Obviously, we have a marketing campaign and we have a business take-up campaign. These complement, obviously, all the private campaigns undertaken by all the internet service providers - we're all bombarded with them every day. They're in addition to that. So, I think you'd be hard put to say that people weren't aware of broadband. And Russell George will also be aware that we're being a little bit sensitive in some areas of Wales, because we don't want to be pushing the expectations of people who don't yet have broadband. So, what I would urge Members to do is to play their part right across Wales, as I said in the debate only last week, in encouraging take-up with their constituents who do have broadband, and encouraging constituents who are, very understandably, frustrated at not having broadband, to encourage their neighbours who do have it to take it up because, obviously, the gainshare increases for all of the percentages of that that we get. And so, it's a very positive message that if you can persuade your neighbours who have it to use it, then the Welsh Government will have more money to make sure that we can get it to other people. As the campaign spreads out across Wales, as I said last week, we will share with Members where it is in their particular area, their constituency or their region, and we do hope that Members will get on board with helping us with that marketing, as, obviously, the more money we're getting, the better. If we were to reach 80 per cent then that would be marvellous, because we'd have that much more money to get the fibre broadband or any other technology out to people. And on that point, the point is, of course, that for some of the hardest premises to reach in Wales, it will not be fibre broadband in the sense of a cable to your house. But the technology moves apace, and so we will get very fast broadband to people; it might be microwave or satellite technology. On that basis, I'm not saying that we will let a single monolithic contract to match up to the end of the Superfast Cymru project; it may be that we let individual contracts in different areas, so that SMEs and other technology providers can take part in that procurement, and we'd be very anxious to make sure that that could happen.
Welsh: Diolch i chi am y cwestiynau yna. Ni soniodd Russell George am y ffaith iddo fynnu cael gwybod yn y pwyllgor fore dydd Iau diwethaf, pa bryd y byddai fy natganiad nesaf yn cael ei gyhoeddi, ac addewais iddo y byddai'n cael ei gyhoeddi cyn y Nadolig. Felly, roeddwn i'n rhyw obeithio y byddech chi'n rhoi clod i mi am ei gyhoeddi'n eithaf cyflym, dim ond dau ddiwrnod yn ddiweddarach. O ran defnydd, mae gennym ymchwil annibynnol i ddangos i ni beth sy'n bosibl a beth sy'n uchelgeisiol. Fel sy'n wir gyda phob technoleg newydd, ceir cromlin safonol y mae'r pethau hyn yn ei dilyn, felly mae tua 29 y cant ar hyn o bryd oddeutu'r hyn y byddech chi'n ei ddisgwyl, ac mae hynny wedyn yn cyflymu wrth i dechnoleg ymwreiddio. Mae ein gwaith ymchwil annibynnol yn dangos i ni fod rhywle rhwng 35 a 50 y cant yn amcangyfrif realistig o'r hyn y gallem ni ei ddisgwyl. Yn amlwg, mae gennym ni ymgyrch farchnata ac mae gennym ni ymgyrch yn ymwneud â manteisio. Mae'r rhain, wrth gwrs, yn ategu'r holl ymgyrchoedd preifat a gynhaliwyd gan y darparwyr gwasanaeth rhyngrwyd i gyd - rydym i gyd yn cael lluoedd ohonyn nhw bob dydd. Maen nhw yn ychwanegol at hynny. Felly, nid wyf yn credu bod modd i chi ddweud nad yw pobl yn ymwybodol o fand eang. A bydd Russell George hefyd yn ymwybodol ein bod yn gweithredu mewn modd ychydig yn sensitif mewn rhai ardaloedd yng Nghymru, oherwydd nad ydym ni eisiau codi gobeithion pobl nad oes ganddynt fand eang hyd yn hyn yn ormodol. Felly, yr hyn y byddwn yn annog yr Aelodau i'w wneud yw chwarae eu rhan ledled Cymru, fel y dywedais yn y ddadl yr wythnos diwethaf, i annog eu hetholwyr i fanteisio ar y band eang sydd ar gael iddyn nhw, ac annog etholwyr sydd, yn ddealladwy iawn, yn teimlo'n rhwystredig am nad oes band eang ar gael iddynt, i annog eu cymdogion y mae band eang ar gael iddynt i fanteisio arno, oherwydd, yn amlwg, mae'r arian a gawn ni drwy rannu enillion yn cynyddu ar gyfer pob un o'r canrannau hynny a gawn. Ac felly, mae'n neges gadarnhaol iawn, os gallwch chi berswadio eich cymdogion i ddefnyddio'r band eang sydd ar gael iddynt, yna bydd gan Lywodraeth Cymru ragor o arian i wneud yn siŵr ein bod yn gallu ei ddarparu i bobl eraill. Wrth i'r ymgyrch ledaenu ar draws Cymru, fel y dywedais yr wythnos diwethaf, byddwn ni'n rhannu ag Aelodau ble y mae yn eu hardal benodol nhw, yn eu hetholaeth neu eu rhanbarth nhw, ac rydym ni wir yn gobeithio y bydd Aelodau yn ein cefnogi â'r marchnata hwnnw, oherwydd, yn amlwg, po fwyaf yr arian a gawn, y gorau. Pe byddem yn cyrraedd 80 y cant, byddai hynny'n wych, oherwydd byddai gennym gymaint yn fwy o arian i ddarparu band eang cyflym iawn neu unrhyw dechnoleg arall i bobl. Ac ar y nodyn hwnnw, y pwynt yw, wrth gwrs, ar gyfer rhai o'r safleoedd anoddaf eu cyrraedd yng Nghymru, nid band eang ffeibr ar ffurf cebl i'ch tŷ fydd hynny. Ond mae'r dechnoleg yn symud yn gyflym, ac felly byddwn yn darparu band eang cyflym iawn i bobl; efallai mai microdon neu dechnoleg lloeren fydd hynny. Ar y sail honno, nid wyf yn dweud y byddwn ni'n gosod un contract monolithig i'w weithredu hyd at ddiwedd y prosiect Cyflymu Cymru; efallai y byddwn ni'n gosod contractau unigol mewn gwahanol ardaloedd, fel y gall BBaChau a darparwyr technoleg eraill gymryd rhan yn y broses gaffael honno, a byddem ni'n awyddus iawn i sicrhau bod hynny'n gallu digwydd.
