Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment
Broadband Service Provision: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Mark Griffin:

In addition to the technical evaluation, we have looked at what other European markets are doing and whether they are bringing fibre to the premises or using other technology. In the UK and Germany, it is fibre to the premises. In France, all the commercial operators are bringing fibre to the premises, as is the case in Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and Norway. The horse being backed by the commercial operators in Ireland and internationally is a fibre-to-the-premises solution.
