Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Commission for Communications Regulation Performance Review: Discussion

5:00 pm

Mr. Gerry Fahy:

It is licensed nationally. Of the four winning bidders of both urban and rural spectrum, one of the bidders has just the rural spectrum. It is only focused on rural areas. That operator already has a customer base, businesses and base stations in rural Ireland. In the past, this operator has made public statements that if it had a licence for a long period, then it would be in a position to invest. If it is being consistent with that then the operator will be investing in rural Ireland because that is where its spectrum is.
