Comreg Rural Broadband Proposal

They are looking at making the Mobile Operators provide BB in the more Rural Areas, not Eircom or the WISPs . This system could also obviate the need for BB over Copper. As a carrot they intend to allocate some valuable Non Line of Sight Spectrum around 1800Mhz to make it happen. Longer discussion may be found over Here at…

Muck,

I've replied to the consultation, but have not received any acknowledgement from Comreg.

In the other thread about data line quality two of those who posted mentioned they have received acknowledgement of their posts. Do Comreg acknowledge all submissions ?

Thanks

M.

This particular consultation closes next friday so i thought a weeks warning would be appropriate. They will acknowledge I am sure but the person may not be in today or may do all the acks in one go next friday.

Ireland Offline response here.

The danger is, we feel, that the mobile firms will take this extra flexibility but not use it unless threatened by competition, in which case, they can use their existing extensive infrastructure to quickly kill that competition. The ability of the mobile firms to do this may act as a deterrent for such competition to appear in the first place. Thus, a stalemate situation is likely to occur.

Very good.

Its a lot more statespersonlike than something I could have cooked up meself.

TBH if O2 and Vodafone don't offer something in certain Rural areas where they won't roll out 3G anyway then I would open the spectrum to someone who would do so...and give them the whole country while I was at it.
