| dc.description | This report was commissioned to PwC by the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Energy (DCCAE) in May 2018 as part of a contract extension from January 2015. It presents the updated findings of a cost benefit analysis (CBA) of the National Broadband Plan (NBP).
This plan, the need for which was referenced in the Programme for a Partnership Government (May 2016) and remains a priority objective of Government, aims to provide Next Generation Access (NGA) broadband services to Irish households and businesses, located in areas which will not have access to commercial NGA services in the medium-term. These areas, referred to collectively as the NBP Intervention Area (IA), account for almost 23% (1.1m people) of our population. Additionally, the NBP IA is home to 55,804 farms and 44,185 non-farm businesses.
The objective of this CBA is to assess the extent to which a State intervention to support the attainment of the
primary NBP objective of universal NGA access will yield a positive return to Irish society. | en |
