High-speed broadband promised for every house by 2020
This is the type of development which is welcomed by those benefiting from it, but those of us who will have to pay for it stay quiet.

Will the rural dwellers subsidise my higher city rent or mortgage?The plan is expected to require the State to invest hundreds of millions of euro to connect more than 700,000 premises across the country, which are in areas that are unlikely to ever be served by commercial high-speed broadband operators.
...He also said the cost of the service to the consumer would be affordable, and in line with the prices paid by city dwellers.
...The distance that will have to be covered by the State as it rolls out the broadband is equivalent to 100,000km of road network.
This is the type of development which is welcomed by those benefiting from it, but those of us who will have to pay for it stay quiet.
