www.broadband.gov.ie "under construction"

According to Eamon Ryan "Broadband is an important tool for everybody in the 21st century".

I agree with Eamon. Broadband is indeed very important. It is also vital to have an informative, well designed website to inform people of Government strategy on Broadband, the NBS, etc etc. According to figures released to Fine Gael Senator Paschal Donohoe in response to a parliamentary question, the broadband.gov.ie website received 67,694 unique visitors in 2009. So it is reasonable to assume people are interested in this topic and visiting the site looking for relevant information.

So what happens when you click on www.broadband.gov.ie? Well, nothing really. The website is "under construction".

Is this good enough for the national Govt broadband website? What message does this give about our much heralded "knowledge economy"?

You can decide for yourself ...
