Guvermint aren't intrerested in bandwidth broadly

They never really were except for NTL and Intel who got their big fat pipes. Eircon are in the bidding process for delivering bandbroad to the remainder of the culchies who rent half their hovel to a goat. This is the same Eircom that has failed to unbungle the local loops for years and diddled Ireland over ADSL.

“The Programme for Government was clear that a world-class telecommunications sector is critical to our continued economic and social prosperity,” said Ryan. “Broadband provision throughout the country is at the heart of this plan.”
“The Government is committed to bringing competitive, affordable and innovative broadband services to all consumers,”
Communications Minister Eamon Ryan TD

But their not interested in competition, affordability and innovation. A government that outsources parts of their contracts to other countries for knob all reason are not interested in "Irish" consumers. Of course what they mean by "Irish"....

Bertie & Co never made an attempt to sort it out except for creating comreg. How Westminister does Comreg sound? Cumrega? I'll leave it at that or things will go dribbly.
