    Jesus christ... they have finally reached the stage that BT reached in 2004, if I remember correctly....

    What is the decibel limit now? It was at 66 dB which is 5.5 km in eircom speak.

    Eircom is aiming to roll out a new Wi-Max wireless network by the third quarter of 2007, and the company admits that line-of-sight assessments may be premature at the moment, as the Wi-Max masts needed to relay the wireless signals in city centres have not yet been erected.

    This is nonsense. eircom have lotsa mast in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Waterford and Galway, they may not have finished installing WiMax on the masts though.

    Obviously they can't actually offer it till its working! August is a date mentioned elsewhere.

    Ireland has always been about 3 years behind the UK - although if I remember correctly we were at one stage only 2 years behind them; but then I woke up.

    My uncle has an office in Galway city in a tall building right on the Corrib. A guy from NTR(?) asked him about installing what my uncle remembers as a
    "Why Mast" receiver on the roof.

    Could this have been Eircom's wi-max installation? Je suis tres errr.... curious.
    :confused:

    NTR = National Troll Roads = Irish Broadband. Nothing to do with eircom.
