Nuacht TG4

Zaphod

I don't no how much interest it is to IrelandOffline, but in the past week Nuacht TG4 have covered 2 stories on broadband. The first was the opening a satellite based service in Tír an Fhia, Galway by E Ó Cuív.

The second was about trouble in Gweedore where this company, who were also supposed to be supplying a sat based service for the area, have run into planning problems. The company seems to be unsure whether or not they need planning permission to erect equipment on a local GAA club building.

It's perhaps also worth pointing out that TG4 have also covered the issue of broadband availability in the past, in particular the case of the Bard na nGleann company based in the Muskerry Gaeltacht in Cork, which threatened to relocate because of lack of broadband in the area. They subsequently got it and are still based there.

So if there's someone in IOFFL who can string a few words of Gaeilge together, keep Nuacht TG4 in mind for some extra media exposure.

Mmm.. campaigning for better universal service provision through a dead language on a channel that exists solely as a fop to entrenched hipocracy. Mmm Irony.

The weather girls on TG4 are pretty foxy. Seeme to be always raining in the Gaeltacht though.

if i remember rightly the gweedore sceme was a wireless local network backhauled using satellite (couldn't see the point really but there you go)

Arrgh, thy feet of clay exposed, o most munificent one!
Much though it pains me, thy karma must fall.
