ODTR Press Release 26/09/2001

Telecoms Regulator, Etain Doyle today (Wednesday 26th September 2001) issued a further direction to eircom to submit revised wholesale pricing proposals and to provide evidence that their pricing proposals were not in breach of competition law. Following an earlier direction to eircom, further discussions and information have clarified the situation but eircom have, to date, not satisfied the Regulator that their proposed wholesale prices are offered on a cost oriented and non-discriminatory basis.

In order to ensure that other licensed operators are in a position to compete with eircom, the ODTR has issued a direction to eircom which, amongst other matters, obliges eircom to use rates for the weighted average cost of capital and asset life profiles as previously determined.. The Regulator has also directed eircom that no launch can take place until 21 days after she has approved the revised prices.

According to the Regulator " the ODTR is required to ensure that every new product is offered on a cost oriented and non-discriminatory basis. We have reviewed eircom's position and the issues carefully and believe that the framework can be adjusted in a way that meets these objectives and enable eircom to launch. I am looking forward to receiving new price proposals from eircom.
