"It's been some two years since the first trials of ADSL [Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line], and there's still no broadband access." - The chairman of Irelandoffline, Martin Herran, at a specially convened forum on improved Net access last week. Irelandoffline was established following the decision by Esat Fusion to withdraw the only unmetered Internet service available in the State.
"At this point, there is no economically sustainable model that will allow us to offer flat-rate access." - Derek Kickham, chairman of Esat Fusion, at the same conference.
