The Digital Hub is one of the most difficult government projects to understand, and I'd rate it as being a far bigger waste of money than the Bertie Bowl. Of course, both projects being run by Magahy & Co - perhaps there's a pattern there. Doesn't the very idea behind the project miss the point? This country is tiny in comparison to the other major players (say the US, and in future India and China). Shouldn't we be able to turn the entire country into a digital hub, not just a few streets in Dublin? As you say, broadband here is a joke, so that can't happen. Right on.
