When we ask for the information on the national broadband plan, we might ask the Department to outline what measurements it has for affordability of broadband. We know the initiatives it is taking regarding the use of metropolitan area networks, and that is fine. It is the end user that matters, however, and that is what the Analysys Mason report produced. Can we ask the Department what exactly it is measuring with regard to the Eircode system? Is it public awareness or public use? Public use really is the optimum of what we should be measuring rather than just awareness.
