Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

What is the point in having the words "other than a broadcasting service" if broadcasters are going to be subject to the investigation of ComReg if they are contractually tied to a premium rate service provider anyway? Why are we specifically saying broadcasters are excluded from something if they are only going to be under investigation if they are providing a premium rate service under contract with a premium rate service provider? If that is the interpretation of the Bill then why do we have to state "other than a broadcasting service"? I do not understand why that is necessary. There is no need for the ambiguity.
