I knew nothing about broadband until this week. From what I have read, my understanding is that the basic intention of the NBP is to install a network around the country that, hopefully, will provide consistent speeds. They might not reach 100% but it is hoped that there will be coverage of 95% for customers in, for example, Ballymaloe or counties Galway or Leitrim. Unless I have missed something during the meeting, there is no better method for delivering that than high-speed fibre-optic cable, which is Enet's business. While masts, fixed wireless, roaming or nomadic wireless have a place, and perhaps they will fill the residual void, my understanding is that, according to the evidence, the best product to deliver infrastructure for the people is the fixed-line cable. Am I correct that nothing that beats fibre-optic cable?
