    A green party flyer i got in the door before the election said that the greens would investigate if the state can buy back the network from eircom. If buying out the m50 bridge was talked about why not our phone network?

    I think the cost would be about €1,500 per person (not per household). At that price I think let them keep it and do better Government policy.

    Exactly, the Greens might like spending all our money but I don't!

    Tracking down presidential candidates, mob killers and Hollywood stars is a walk in the park compared with getting broadband in the Irish countryside, writes Robbyn Swan

    It seems eircom are holding the nails and operating the hammer.

    Change the planning laws instead.

    The service only currently works near the Digiweb data centre. Not exactly national yet.

    The interesting question is this, are Digiweb going to be the sole operator with a national 4G licence, or will other licences be made available. If history has thought us anything, it is not to give a private company sole control over national infrastructure like this. Comreg would do well to consider tendering out further 4G licences.
