Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Electronic Communications Markets: Commission for Communications Regulation

10:50 am

Mr. Jeremy Godfrey:

One of the issues is how we get better information about the actual experience of users in a way that may be unrelated to the licence conditions but which is designed to enable us to understand what is happening on the ground and to better inform consumers so that they can make more informed choices. We will have a look at whether one of the things we could do is to extend drive tests. Many of the points that have been made have been about indoor, not just outdoor, coverage. We will need to reflect on the best way to measure that and provide meaningful information for us, for the committee and for users. We would not rule out having more drive tests on other roads for that purpose. However, it is something we need to reflect on to make sure we design that in a way that is meaningful, produces valid results people can rely on and is also cost-effective.
