Broadband service providers operate in a fully liberalised market, regulated, where appropriate, by the independent Commission for Communications Regulation, ComReg. Broadband services can now be provided over various platforms, DSL (i.e. over telephone lines), fixed wireless access, mobile, cable, satellite and fibre by the private sector service providers. I understand that broadband is available in Kilmessan, County Meath from mobile and wireless service providers.
