    Sharing infrastructure is a way reducing costs and making Next Generation Access feasible in rural areas, but the main players don’t seem to be on board...

    eircom have now added their name to the register, but their duct location tool (click before you dig) seems to be pretty hopeless, at least for rural areas. There are clearly ducts in existence that are not marked.

    SIRO (ESB/vodafone) have not joined in at all, not even a contact address, but congratulations to the Commissioners of Irish Lights and Hibernian Towers for offering up good location information.

    If infrastructure owners protect their information inside a walled garden (ie on application only) their competitors effectively have to declare their investment plans in advance or submit a whole load of decoy requests to camouflage their intentions.

    BEREC (the regulators' club) recommended that minimum information should be as follows.
    The information should cover, organization of the civil engineering infrastructure, technical characteristics of the different elements of which infrastructure consists and, where available, the geographical location of these elements (ducts, poles, distribution points and any other physical asset) including available space in ducts. The list of connected buildings should also be provided.

    ... and a bit of needle from eir.

    “For the sake of an efficient and quick delivery of the NBP we expect and would welcome the immediate engagement of the ESB,” he said.
    He [eir’s director of public policy Pat Galvin] also noted that the energy utility had still [not] lodged its facilities on a country-wide register of infrastructures set up by the Department of Communications in the context of the NBP.
    Carolan Lennon, managing director of OpenEir, Eir’s wholesale arm, said the company needed the ESB to process its requests and to agree pricing structures so it could accurately cost its own bid for the NBP.
    “Failure to access the ESB’s network will make the NBP more expensive for us and slower to roll out,” she said.
