    My caculations:

    Sept 2001

    Wholesale €75
    Retail €99
    Margin €24

    April 2002

    Wholesale €49
    Retail €75
    Margin €26

    thats what would be reasonable. Sorry if this thread is pointless i don't think it is. Thats up to you mods

    It's not as simple as that. You're thinking that retail minus wholesale equals margin. So to follow that through the retail product would look exactly like the wholesale product - don't think so. You're forgetting retail costs like content, broadband access server, billing, marketing etc etc

    I don't think the price of Eircom's solo product will go far below €100 retail (if at all). That said, if OLO's start rolling out bitstream services, the prices should be driven down quite rapidly, /IF/ there has been no shady dealing on future pricing.

    mdf, we're keeping you busy, aren't we?

    well i think eircom.net would have taken that into account when they tried to release in sept.

    eircom ireland as the wholesaler can't sell the retail product

    i think i am right but with galdly be corrected.

    As long as esat release at the same time as eircom i don't think the price will be too far off the €75 mark. that said its eircom.

    There isn't an eircom Ireland anymore

    Basically eircom wholesale sell the wholesale product to eircom retail and to other operators who add what they want and set the retail price

    then why did you say
    Eircom Ireland (Retail)

    anyway it doesn't matter all the money is going to eircom in the end.

    I would accept no content if it meant a lower price.

    I would /prefer/ no content. ISP provided content is rubbish anyway.
