Broadband is vital for PR companies. They are
dependent on a good broadband server.
When working in a PR company for my placement
the provider they used was Eircom
I used the internet for research on social media
website aswel as google.
It allowed me to accesss my emails which are
essential in a working day in order to contact
clients
A good provider with fast and reliable broadband
is important when choosing which company to
use.

15. Minister Pat Rabbitte: National Broadband Strategy
 Rabbitte says there is going to be a link between broadband
and employment. People will save money on petrol by
depending on broadband to work at home therefor saving
money which is a key aspect due to the recession.
 By 2015 high speed broadband will reach homes and firms
across the country.
 With the help of capital programmes 2000 installations will
be put on public buildings.
 multi-anticipated wireless spectrum will auction for the 4G,
this will allow all areas to connect to broadband.
 Ipads are now being introduced to schools and are now
tuning into lessons using broadband.

Roberto Viola, deputy director general at European
Commission's DG says that the future of broadband is
simple, broadband is going to be faster and provided at
a lower cost to consumers.
Wireless broadband represents the future.
Mobile devices will become more important and
people will be more dependent on it.
Broadband is going to continue to grow reaching third
world countries, eventually taking over the world.
For example mobile banking is going to lead the banks
out of business.
People can now shop online so they don’t have to go to
the supermarket.

17. 

The number of large-screen wireless
subscribers will triple during the next 4–5 years
in India
LTE will have a major role with the availability
of 700MHz spectrum by 2015. It will be driven
by 3G small-screen mobile broadband, which
are expected to increase rapidly from 2014 to
2015 as smartphones become more affordable
and data pricing issues are resolved.

18. 



Mobile broadband is growing faster than any
technology in human history averaging 30% per year.
Five countries now have mobile broadband penetration
in excess of 100 connections per capita (Singapore,
Japan, Finland, Korea and Sweden). By the beginning
of 2013, 32 economies had mobile-broadband
subscriptions.
To conclude, it is evident that broadband will take
over a lot of jobs but will also create jobs as
communications Minister Pat Rabbitte explains.
Broadband is going increasingly popular and quick
and easy to access and is vital for companies to deliver
their daily work load.
