Broadband Service Provision: Discussion (Resumed)
9:00 am
Mr. Patrick Neary:
One can go only about 1 km from the cabinet and still deliver a high-speed broadband service. That is very restraining in terms of the number of homes that can be served directly close to the cabinet. It does not work in a rural setting because not many homes are within 1 km. In rural areas, the idea would be to bring fibre all the way to the house.
