Department of Communications sets out broadband plans
The Department of Communications has published a consultation document setting out its high speed broadband plans for the next five years.
The map is required under EU procurement rules to help ensure State broadband provision does not crowd out planned commercial investment.
The three-week consultation announced today will seek industry views on how the high speed broadband map is to be managed in the National Broadband Plan.
This plan will provide high-speed broadband access to every home, school and business in Ireland by 2020 - with 85% covered by 2018.
The State intervention element of the plan will provide high speed broadband access in areas where it is not commercial for private operators to invest alone.
