Thank you everyone.

Today is still a good day for IrelandOffline, although it could have been a great day.

The members of IrelandOffline greatly underscored the need for flat rate in Ireland today and although the Telecommunications bill 2002 was not amended in relation to empowering the regulator to mandate flatrate, important comments were placed on the record of the Dáil from Jim Mitchell (Fine Gael) and Brian O'Shea (Labour), addressing the issue.

Jim Mitchell commented on how clogged his fax machine was and on the amount of emails he had received in relation to his ammendments.

Thank you all very much for all you did today. It made a big difference.

But am I wrong in guessing it could be at least a year before the Irish people see flat-rate 56k?

What should also be thrown into peoples faces while your at it is this In a meeting on May 13th 2001 in a Dublin city centre hotel, this group, which was later to be named "IrelandOffline", was created. and we still have no ADSL or FRIACO. Neither of which will be achieved because of IOFFL intervention. But only because if and when Eircom decides they are ready to supply it to us they will. IOFFL can hop on the band wagon and say they did this and they did that or whatever. But the simple fact is that IOFFL have made no difference whatsoever and Eircom will always have the upper hand. ADSL/I-stream whatever WILL be released if and when Eircom decide to do it. And not because of any useless pressure IOFFL have put on them. IOFFL can take the credit for the eventual introduction of ADSL/FRIACO when Eircom do decide to release it. But lets face the truth here. It’s been almost a year. Eircom have managed to hold off this long and do not be fooled, they can hold out for much longer. You are being feed titbits of information bye Eircom about things that have already been decided BY EIRCOM etc. and ye think ye are winning. My next post will be “I told ye so” huh!

That may be so but I would be only too delighted to be proven wrong.

No. that's an optimistic pessimist. A true pessimist will say "I'm right as usual, unfortunately" Or "surprised, unfortunately".

The emphasis is on the "unfortunately"
