    So is it worth listening to the show online or was it simply a light entertainment discussion?

    I nearly fell off my chair when the guy who carried out the survey said there were no BB consumer groups in the survey as Ireland has'nt got one!

    What are we? Still just a 'technical lobby' group? It seems IOFFL needs to widen its remit.

    I did wonder about that! The trouble with academics is they really do live on a different planet most of the time. I would have thought the first thing to do was google some basic terms like Broadband users group Ireland

    The guys name is Pascal Preston at DCU, the project he was part of is called
    Beacon and is an EU funded survey. The Ireland pdf is here. Note IOFFL is'nt cited or mentioned at all.

    Well if they left out IrelandOffline....then their project certainly cant be very well researched!!!

    Would it at all be possible for someone to get in contact with Pascal Preston at DCU and tell him of this lobby group?

    I had an email drafted and then deleted it. Seems a bit arrogant emailing and saying "Do you not know who we are? Respect our author e tay" or something like that. I'm more concerned with the "facts" in the report about coverage etc.
