I have no function with regard to the number of mobile telephone service providers in the market. The regulation of telecommunications service providers is the responsibility of the independent regulator, the Commission for Communications Regulation, ComReg, in accordance with the requirements of the Communications Regulation Act 2002 and regulations made under the EU regulatory framework for electronic communications.
