Providing electronic communication services, is a matter for the relevant service providers operating in a fully liberalised market, regulated by the Commission for Communication Regulation (ComReg), as independent regulator.While I have no function or statutory authority to influence the prices set, or packages offered by providers of electronic communications services, including television subscriptions services, I would welcome further information from the Deputy as to the specific circumstances that gave rise to his asking the question.
