Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment
National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Carolan Lennon:
No, because we get revenue off them. Today, we make money on the customers on our copper network and those ducts and poles. That revenue pays for the maintenance of our ducts and poles. The prices are regulated. The regulator sets them based on cost. If tomorrow, we were to build the network, rather than someone else, we would migrate those copper customers onto the new fibre network and the revenue we would get for them on the fibre network would pay for the maintenance of the ducts and poles.
