I am not a notified party in legal challenges to decisions of the Commission for Communications Regulation, ComReg, nor am I a party to any such proceedings. I am advised by ComReg that eircom has appealed ComReg decisions on five occasions in the last 12 months rising to six over the past 18 months. Two appeals related to the price of local loop unbundling; one related to the regulation of leased lines and the other 3 related to ComReg decisions in respect of certain retail offerings from eircom.
