Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Electronic Communications Markets: Commission for Communications Regulation

10:35 am

Mr. Jeremy Godfrey:

Yes, in the locations where they were previously able to use them.

One of the members asked why, when we say will do something, does it take so long to do it. One way this can be improved is through the release of the additional spectrum at 700 MHz. That spectrum is currently being used for broadcasting. The broadcasting network could be reconfigured to release that spectrum in order that everybody can continue to watch Saorview, but it will take time for the policy decision to be made and for the broadcasting network to be reconfigured. That sort of matter is not an overnight fix.
