Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Fergal Mulligan:

That is the connection charge. I am talking about the monthly rental. The monthly rental is €30 per month on a wholesale basis. Our bidder is considering that €30 a month and there is not much likelihood that figure will increase if it is benchmarked urban, which is the policy. The policy set out in the contract stating rural prices should be similar and comparable to urban prices for the duration of this contract for 25 years and the bidder is sticking to that in a contract. There is no requirement on Eir in a commitment agreement or commercially over 25 years to keep that level of comparison.
