    No this isn't as stupid a question as it sounds (maybe it is smile.gif ). The ODTR keeps going on about how only in disputes can it intervene - so how do you create a Telecom that can get involved in a dispute? What's the criteria by which the ODTR will recognise you?

    You gotta get yourself a telco licence for a start.. the application is on the odtr site. 2500 quid.

    There are two main type of Licences. General and Basic. A General License is needed to provide voice or a public telecommunications network. Whereas the Basic License is fine for licensable telecommunications services.

    Then you would have to interconnect to the eircom network as per the Reference Interconnect Offer on eircoms website.

    Obviously, then you are in a position to request additional service schedules, dispute existing terms and costs etc....

    Though by the feedback and support Ireland Offline is gaining from Mary O'Rourke and ODTR to date, the consumer approach is as valuable as any other.

    Both parties are very media savvy, and to be held directly attributable for the stagnancy of the FRIACO and LLU fiasco, is something neither party wants.

    The more articulate and sensible pressure applied (like the forthcoming seminar) and subsequent media coverage, the greater chance of forcing the flat rate / broadband resolution.
