Not instead. As well.

It says so much about the fantastic legal system in Ireland.

I don’t see why. Eircom entered into this agreement voluntarily (e.g. full capitulation), I assume because it can no longer afford to contest costly lawsuits.

I think Eircom is potentially signing its own death warrant here. The Irish broadband market is extremely competitive (despite its pathetic geographic coverage) and Eircom is already one of the more expensive providers. I think people will find it very easy to switch to NTL or BT if this becomes a major issue. I know I’d never have dreamed of using Eircom before, nevermind now.

Add in the low percentage of people with internet access in Ireland...not too many people will care for now (sadly). I'm sure this will end up in the European Courts at some stage in the future.</p> I fully agree with you. It says so much about the fantastic legal system in Ireland.
