Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

National Broadband Plan: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Pat Kidney:

The products available on this network are wholesale products that run from a point of presence to a premises. The retail service providers have options as to which point of presence they go to but they provide the connection to the Internet. A retail service provider could have one national interconnection point with the entire network. Returning to the Deputy's question, in that case the traffic from the exchange would then all be brought back to that network.
