Ireland’s broadband market is underdeveloped by European standards, although government efforts to improve local loop unbundling and wholesale access has meant that growth, albeit from a relatively low base, has been strong during the last two years. Relatively low penetration has partly been due to high wholesale costs, lack of competition, high retail prices, and limited coverage in many non-urban areas. The proposed structural separation of eircom could have been a catalyst for rapid development in this market, but the global financial crisis affecting eircom’s parent company, and its sale in late 2009, suspended further progress.

Broadband growth has slowed in recent years, and is now largely in the cable and mobile sectors. This report profiles Ireland’s fixed and wireless broadband markets, together with developments in related technologies such as FttH, powerline broadband, wireless and mobile broadband, WiFi and internet via satellite. It also provides forecasts for broadband uptake to 2020.
