IBEC and Forfas have published a handy new guide to the changing telecommunications infrastructure in Ireland. Telecommunications for Business aims to highlight the challenges and opportunities presented by the availability of new technologies.

It provides a breakdown of telecommunications entrants to the Irish market, summarises the range of advanced networks and services available to customers, and describes the strategic implications of some of the changes involved. Broadband service availability throughout Ireland is depicted on a detailed map, and a "jargon buster" in the glossary will help translate some of the latest technologies into plain English.

Copies of Telecommunications for Business can be obtained from IBEC, telephone 01 605 1659, or Forfas, telephone 01 697 3085.
