We spent three hours yesterday in a committee with Eircom discussing the problems with rolling out next generation broadband infrastructure into rural Ireland. The State has spent €80 million putting in place that infrastructure and we are not lighting it up. It is nine months since the preferred tender was chosen and we have still not put in place a contract to make it happen.
