David McCourt

Entrepreneur David McCourt has envisioned and delivered some of the world's largest open-access fibre networks. Now, as chairman of National Broadband Ireland, he tells Capacity Magazine why it's time for tech innovation to accelerate so operators can embrace the open-access model, and talks of his plans to export this expertise to the rest of the world.

The company behind Ireland’s National Broadband Plan wants to build on the new investment by setting up a centre of excellence in the country, and then offering its expertise across Europe.
