    The other urban areas will be done in time, but rural folk can look to the wireless providers for such a service.

    Unlike with co-ax cable in the 5 big cities , widespread 25 mbit speeds on wireless for 90% of Ireland covering 70% of the population are a bit of a tall order if you thinks abouts it a tad , non ??!! :D

    I'm sure we'll get a press release from Digiweb any day now.

    You can do 25Mbs on Wireless. But even with non-existant new flavours of Wimax, it would mean a base station sector for about 5 people.

    and you can consider the revenue generated per base station, versus cost of operating such a network of base stations lol

    I am delighted that faster speeds will soon come to the 5 main urban areas and that 30% of the population will be able to access services that are now available in advanced communucations environments such as Warsaw ....said city where an excellent presentation was recently made on what VDSL will eventually deliver to Dublin Cork Galway Limerick and Waterford....but not of course to the other 70% of the population and 90% of the state by area.

    Basically you need 25mbits to do VDSL / IPTV and heavy duty streaming .

    The rest of the state will probably get an incremental improvement to 8mbits while the 5 main urban centres go to 25 mbits but from now on the 5 main urban centres will henceforth start to rocket away from the rest of the state in terms of available services .

    Of course the function of the state is to deliver equitable dispersal of access to all and not just to the 30% of the population in 5 big towns and to have a focused plan to so do or simply , as a matter of policy, to drive the government owned NGN to within something like 30-50km of every citizen from which the market can take over in most cases with an admixture of technologies .

    None of that will happen on Dempseys watch . He should have kept his gob shut and not to publically reveal the depths of 'thinking ' within the moronic inferno that is our misnamed Dept of Communications .
