Broadband Operators Say They Will Challenge National Broadband Plan
That's if the government signs off on a multi-million euro rural internet scheme
Some operators say they will bring a challenge on state aid grounds if the homes and businesses they serve aren't removed from the plan.
They believe that they can cover around 137,000 premises currently included in the National Broadband Plan.
In August the Government announced that Cork is to receive an investment of €290 million to deliver fibre broadband to almost 75,000 homes in the Intervention Area.
Peter O Dwyer, Business Correspondent with the Sunday Business Post says operators don't want to be forced out of business
