The Minister for Communications, in his speech at the Green Party Convention this weekend, mentioned that:

"....We can also use our roadways and other state assets as part of the backhaul network that will allow some people work from home and free up that congested road space."

This concept has been kicking around for a long time, without much action.

The OECD 'declassified' a study in March 2008 on what some OECD member countries are doing to allign sustainable building and planning regulations with the need to roll-out Fiber to the Home.

It is little wonder that Ireland, the Minister, nor Comreg were mentioned in this report. Where's the vision, leadership, drive.......even interest at policy level in Ireland on this critical national infrastructure deficit?
