The provision of telecommunications services, including broadband, is a matter for the fully liberalised private sector, regulated by ComReg. The provision of ISDN services is an operational matter for Eircom. My Department's website http://www.broadband.gov.ie lists a number of service providers offering satellite-based broadband in Enniskerry, County Wicklow, together with contact numbers and price lists for the services on offer. Full details of my Department's broadband infrastructure roll-out can be found on http://www.dcmnr.gov.ie.
