In December 2008, my Department entered into a contract with "3", a Hutchison Whampoa company, for the delivery of the National Broadband Scheme (NBS). The company is required to provide services, using a mix of technologies, to all fixed residences and businesses that are located within the NBS Coverage Area and who seek a service.
3 continue to progress its network rollout and NBS broadband services are available in over two-thirds of the 1,028 designated Electoral Divisions (EDs) to be covered under the Scheme. Details of all the areas to be covered by the NBS, including the status of the NBS rollout, are available at www.three.ie/nbs. Under the NBS contract, all EDs in the NBS Coverage Area must have broadband connectivity by Autumn 2010.
With particular reference to County Cork, the table below outlines the position regarding the 95 EDs to be covered under the NBS in the County. 76 of the 95 EDs are now enabled. The timing of the enablement of the remaining EDs is an operational matter for 3.
