    Comreg is to carry out a full market analysis of the wholesale terrestrial broadcasting transmission market following the publication of its response to a Dec consultation today. Both TV3 and eircom (remember OneVision) submitted responses to the consultation.

    This from the the Dec consultation
    On the basis of the interaction between viewers/listeners and broadcasters and advertisers, it would not be in RTÉ‟s interests to create competition which would result in a loss of market share of viewers/listeners to other broadcasters. Therefore, there is a possibility that a vertically integrated entity, such as RTÉ, might try to exclude potential terrestrial competitors as such broadcasters could become substantial competitors for content, viewers and advertising revenues. Even if access to the terrestrial broadcast transmission network was granted (or forced through legislation) there is still a possibility that there might be an incentive to charge potential competitors excessive transmission fees in order to weaken their competitive threat to RTÉ in the upstream broadcasting market where RTÉ competes with these companies for key content, talent and ultimately advertising revenue.

    All Comreg do is scratch their holes to make themselves look important. This is a meaningless consultation and McRedmond knows that.

    Or else it is the ghost of Ray Burke walking the corridors of Comreg trying to get influence for commercial interests, and wrest revenue from RTE.

    No, it is Comreg in "permaconsult" mode ...which saves them from actually having to DO anything. If they could disappear off up their own arses and hide there permanently in the warm darkness then they would :(
