Mr. Ciarán Ó hÓbáin:
It is a very important point. The world has moved on. The three bidders in the process said fibre, which meant it would never be 30 Mbps but always 100 Mbps and more. However, one must think about who will be selling services on the network. It will be the big retail players such as Sky, Vodafone, Eir and so forth. They will not be differentiating. Dermot Bannon is doing the advertisement for Vodafone now. After the news on a Sunday evening he is selling the same service whether one is living in the middle of Dublin city, north County Dublin or south Mayo.
