Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment
Broadband Service Provision: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

To clarify that point, under this gap-funded commercial model and in normal circumstances, once the job is done and the company has operated for 25 years, the contract is over, it is gone with no more relationship, and it just runs like in Eircom. What we achieved through the contract negotiations dialogue was that as we do not want a cliff edge at year 25, where it might turn off some customers if they are not profitable, we said that we wanted the company to honour that contract for another ten years-----
