    While the ink isn't dry on the takeover documents the next round of eircom monopoly rip-offs is ready to roll.

    When is gov.ie going to require eircom to deliver nationwide loop unbundling? LLU requires no investment by eircom other than creating a system to process the handover paperwork efficiently. Even that could be outsourced. The eircom lot could then stay in bed every morning and let everyone else run and upgrade the national network and provide a competitive service.

    Eircom customers face new increase in cost of line rental

    27 August 2006 By Eamon Quinn
    Eircom is preparing to apply for an increase in its monthly line-rental charge before the end of the year, company insiders have told The Sunday Business Post.

    Eircom is preparing to apply for an increase in its monthly line-rental charge before the end of the year, company insiders have told The Sunday Business Post.

    If granted, Eircom customers will be forced to pay higher telephone bills. The company will argue that it needs to raise the line rental charge - the first increase since February 2004 - by at least the rate of inflation because wage inflation and other costs are accelerating at a faster rate.

    Any increase, coming just months before the election next spring, will be met with opposition from consumer and business groups, and will lead to claims that the company’s new owners, Babcock & Brown, are using the increases to help finance its recent acquisition of the company.
