Sounds promising Although I must admit I had been under the impression that the ESB wanted no part of the whole internet mess.

You are right, but they have been directed to by the Minister after they had a few sheckles left over from their North and South fibre rings. The initial recipients are most likely to be regional users, perhaps even island dwellers to start with. The initial trial will be available to around 1000 people I believe.
