Eircom challenges Comreg finding

Eircom has brought a legal challenge to a decision by Comreg finding that Eircom has “significant market power” in relation to the “leased lines” market. Comreg’s decision of December 22nd will have significant direct and indirect commercial consequences for Eircom, it is claimed.

The proceedings were admitted to the Commercial Court yesterday.

A leased line is a permanent dedicated connection between two points for the transmission of voice and data. The European Commission has decided there are different wholesale markets for the “terminating” and “trunk” segments of leased lines.

Following a review, Comreg decided that Eircom has significant power in the market for wholesale terminating segments of leased lines.

So who else can you lease a line from?

Well they should just go through the courts. Eircom won't be able to hold out for long since they are practically going under as is.

That should be the defence opening and closing. Keep the costs down, like.
