This Report Profiles Ireland's Fixed and Wireless Broadband Markets in 2008

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/d4bfb7/ireland_broadban)
has announced the addition of the "Ireland - Broadband Market -
Overview Statistics & Forecasts" report to their offering.

Ireland's broadband market remains under-developed by European
standards, although government efforts to improve local loop
unbundling and wholesale access has meant that growth has been strong
during the last two years. Low penetration has partly been due to high
wholesale costs, lack of competition, high retail prices, limited
coverage in many non-urban areas, and general low market awareness.
The proposed structural separation of Eircom may be a catalyst for
rapid progress in this market in coming years. This report profiles
Ireland's fixed and wireless broadband markets in 2008, together with
developments in related technologies such as FttH, powerline
broadband, wireless broadband, WiFi and Internet via satellite. It
also provides forecasts for broadband take-up to 2017.
