    In todays Sunday Tribune is a major feature built around the National Spatial Strategy which included the following piece in the comms section -
    The governments objective is that Ireland be in the top 10% of OECD
    countries in terms of broadband connectivity within three years. In the medium term, it is expected (my emphisis) that broadband speeds of
    5 megabit per second to the home and more than that for business will become the minimuim
    standards.

    :rolleyes: Who here or in the telco
    business remotely belives that...? If we have 512kbs for all in three years I'll be surprised.

    Mike.

    Hmmm... "medium term" is such a wonderfully loose, general, non-specific phrase, isn't it?

    Politicians must love it.

    Democracy will reign in Iraq in the 'Medium Term'.

    Eircom's dictatorship will keep Ireland in the E-Middle Ages for much longer.
