Those fibre rings

yellum

Can someone point me to documentation on the various state sponsored fibre rings that were built ?

This Esat train track one, I thought someone said CIE also layed their own when this went down ? This true ?

Is the train track one by Esat actually working ?

Who else got money to lay fibre ?

Do compulsory purchase orders work on fibre resources ?

this is probably (definitely) out of date by now but have a look at the maps of the fibre rings and proposed fibre rings
from the previous discussion it looks like some of this has been implemeted (gets up off the floor in amazement)

edwnireland - I read your news items. I'd like to clarify that the amount of funding set aside for the first call was 66M not 20M, so Letterkenny actually got about 6.5% of the funding. For an 18km network, the price of 4.3M is actually quite expensive.


To date Limerick, Cork, Galway, South-East Region, Leitrim (2 towns), Westmeath (6 towns) and Mayo (2 towns) are in advanced stages of their fibre projects.

Don't also forget about the Wester Digital Corrider owned by Esat BT but funded by the Government.

ESAT BT are indeed using their CIE network as their national backbone.

Apparently there should be something on the Dept of Comms or ndp.ie site soon.
