In Dublin, thinking about their own municipal wireless network

However, for the implementation of this plan will need to be overcome at least one serious problem: the EU rules prohibit municipal authorities to invest public funds in projects that can compete with private capital. This means that the city will have to find their own means and to negotiate the sharing of future network with commercial entities. As was done in Amsterdam for the development of FTTH- networks.
Accordingly, the Commission will undertake a thorough check of all the nuances of the development and implementation of the project, which will also take away from the city authorities a lot of time and effort.
