"My Department’s National Broadband Scheme has cracked the availability issue and will deliver broadband to every area of Ireland this autumn - three years ahead of the EU target of 2013 and 10 years ahead of the USA’s target of 2020. "

The Minister further notes that

"The speed and quality of broadband has been firmly in my sights since I published my NGB policy paper last year. My policy, based on facilitating competition and providing investment certainty is now beginning to bear fruit, as far as speeds are concerned. "

Electric cars INCREASE* carbon footprint. Unless you get all your electric from Hydro, Wind, Wave, Tide or Fusion. We are unlikely to see ever even 15% non-fossil power.

We haven't improved on Global indices. There is no credible NGB policy, The "midband" NBS scheme was only contract signed by him, designed by predecessors. The Japanese the 1st in world virtually with 3G, they don't regard it as Broadband.



(* % loss in power distribution, % loss in charging is up to 25% more carbon than Diesel or Petrol car, assuming as much non-fossil power gen as possible, Replacement every 300 charge cycles of batteries is more carbon footprint and cost. Electric cars only make sense if Fusion Power stations invented or you in a country running entirely on Hydro power)

Since you all bring up the topic of electric cars ( midband equipped as standard I presume ) what would the range of an electric car in a climate such as we had last January ( -7C - -10C ) be ?

Are these cars fitted with heaters ?

If so, what is the energy source ?


Brrrrrrr!

Pffft, did you not hear Mother Nature John Gormley say that the weather we had last winter was a one in 500 year event and nothing like it was seen since the early eightys, or were you following all his hand movements.

he obviously knows nothing about broadband hes like a headless turkey walking around the state of eircoms network and has the cheek to call it broadband..even poorer countrys in eastern europe has better infrastructure than Ireland its a shame then again it could be worse we could have no connectivity at all like most african countrys:rolleyes::o

Actually, Kenya you get Fibre to the Home.

South Africa is a bit variable.
