Irish Broadband has won seven further licences from the Commission for Communications Regulation to supply Irish homes and businesses with wireless broadband internet services.
The new licences will be used to supply high speed wireless services to customers living in Sligo, Navan, Celbridge, Wicklow, Bray, Tralee and Killarney.
The new licences bring to 23 the number of towns and cities served by the company. Irish Broadband's internet solutions are currently available to customers in the cities of Dublin and Cork.
Customers in Waterford city, Galway city and Drogheda and Dundalk due to receive services by the end of this month, while Limerick will go live in the middle of March.
The company also said it plans rolling out services to customers in Athlone, Arklow, Carlow, Ennis, Kilkenny, Letterkenny, Newbridge, Portlaoise and Wexford during the remainder of 2005.
'We predicted 2005 was going to be a big year for wireless broadband technology in Ireland and for Irish Broadband in particular, and the awarding of these new licences suggest that that is indeed going to be the case,' commented the company's Paul Doody.
