National Broadband Plan Update: National Broadband Ireland
Mr. Peter Hendrick:
Absolutely. It is about television content etc. Most services are now delivered, as we call it, over the top. Traditionally, people had a satellite television, but now all of the content seems to be delivered over an Internet connection. After six months the figure is 30%. We have 50 retailer operators selling on the network. Some of those operators have existing customers in these areas who may be currently in contract for another eight or 12 months. In the early stages, we found that operators were talking about migrating customers at the end of their contract term. Now, some operators are deciding to move customers onto the fibre network now and are providing promotional offers such as free installation.
