Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
National Broadband Plan: Discussion
Mr. Patrick Neary:
On the landline issue, NBI is delivering a high-speed broadband connection of 500 Mbps at a minimum. That can be used by a service provider to provide, say, a voice over Internet protocol service, but primarily, it is a broadband connection. There is no prohibition on having a fixed-line phone service from another operator to an individual premises but it is a different service from a different operator.
