The mapping was done specifically to reach the individual house level in terms of the national broadband plan. Everybody wants to speed up its roll out but first we must consider the consequences of, for example, taking a step too far or missing an important step in procurement. This is State aid that must be agreed with the Commission, which is what this is about. We are down to two bidders - Eir and enet. We must be careful in terms of the stages that we take. We all want to see high speed broadband rolled out to every house as quickly as possible.
