    Search for "eircom" on google.com to get the following result:

    (probably) on the second page of results, second-last:

    ----

    eircom US Homepage
    Welcome to eircom (US) limited. eircom is Europe's leading telecommunications
    provider. ... eircom launches low cost 'consumer broadband', 4/2/2003. ...
    www.eircomus.com/ - 20k - Cached - Similar pages

    ----

    WTF IS UP WITH THAT? :ninja: have they leeched onto the U.S. as well? btw that site ^^^ gets a 500 Internal Server error. :D

    Eircom have had a presence in the US for at least a year or two. It's why I took the logo down off eircon.org when they threatened me -- they could have sued my upstream to get the site taken down.

    "Hi! I'm Jim Troy! You might remember me from such domain registrations as eircomsucks.com!"

    I still wonder about Simon Kelly and Prem Group's connection to Eircom. Course, I never really looked that hard... :)
