Who sets the guidelines? Is it ComReg who sets the guidelines for the suppliers on the level of coverage they should supply? Who is ComReg answerable to? Is it answerable to the Minister? If it is, it needs to consult the Minister and change the guidelines.

ComReg mentioned houses changing. For the information of the witnesses, I live in a house that did not change for the past 12 years and in a 20-mile radius, the mobile phone coverage has gone from very good to zero. Do not tell us that we are changing our houses.

If hand pieces are responsible, is it ComReg's responsibility to make it clear that a particular hand piece is no good if one wants mobile phone coverage or that it is very good if one wants to get data or whatever?
