The concern that I and others would have is that a 70% requirement really only includes Dublin, the wider area around it and the bigger cities. I note that there are issues with Saorview in certain very remote parts of Cork, for example. The concern is that companies would not feel obliged to roll out to all areas. There are issues with the national broadband scheme in this regard. How is this policed? What are the ramifications if companies do not step up to the mark on this?
