The Sunday Business Post had a brilliant article about why the Government does not under stand broadband, or how to manage the future of Irish Broadband. <\/p>\n
I’ll quote:<\/p>\n
\nThe network … They were backed by the government in an attempt to stimulate competition in the broadband market. …. The networks are also catering solely for large businesses<\/b> and cannot deliver broadband to homes or small businesses, which are experiencing major difficulties obtaining the service. … Eircom already offers broadband to 118 of the 120 areas covered by the network.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
so let’s review.<\/p>\n
\n
- The network is only available for big business<\/li>\n
- Big business has difficulty obtaining it<\/li>\n
- There is already a competing service in 98% of the coverage area<\/li>\n
- Small businesses and home owners can’t get the service even though their taxes pay for it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
So they are 1)<\/b> trying to deliver broadband to companies that don’t need it, 2)<\/b> who will have trouble acquiring it, 3)<\/b> in areas that already have it, 4)<\/b> But not to people that need it, and are paying for it.<\/p>\n
Does that sound stupid or what? Pick any number or all of them combined, and ask yourself how many points did the government miss here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
