(9) Due to the limited reach of any single local wireless access point and the small value of individual projects covered, access points benefitting from financial assistance under this Regulation are not expected to challenge commercial offers. Projects should be funded by means of public procurement.

This should not exclude additional support to deployments under this initiative from public or private sources of funding.
