The phone companies are all moving into "triple play" or "quadruple play" - phone, internet, TV, mobile deals at this stage, supported by the roll out of fibre to the cabinet or fibre to the home (FTTC, FTTH). eircom, the Irish "national" phone line provider has rolled out FTTC and is busy flogging streaming TV services including HD to the home - all delivered over the existing twisted pair copper from the cabinets to the house.
