Eircom has scrapped the technology platform upon which it was developing its digital subscriber line (DSL) offering which would allow customers access high-speed Internet and multimedia access.

Eircom has cancelled a contract it struck with Newbridge Networks in January 2000. Although it is in negotiations with equipment vendors to replace the platform, the introduction of DSL will be delayed.
