I have no function in the setting of pricing for phone services. Pricing is a matter, in the first instance, for the mobile phone operators. The regulation of telecommunications operators, including regulatory issues surrounding pricing by mobile operators, is the responsibility of 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.
