Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
National Broadband Plan Roll-out: Discussion
Mr. Peter Hendrick:
There are two sides to our programme in 2020. One is connecting the broadband connection points. We have 200 connected today across 26 counties. The build programme is under way to pass 19,000 homes. We will be starting to connect homes in the coming weeks within Carrigaline, Galway and Cavan. The Chairman must remember that there are 33 retail operators on board. NBI is a wholesale operator and does not sell directly to consumers or businesses, so it has to bring on board the retail operators, testing our network and their network-----
