ComReg’s USO headache just got worse.

Eircom have just lobbed in another USO grenade. (The net cost of running the USO in 2013/2014 was €11,255,984). It hasn't gone off yet but there are now five of them lying about the place - total value €42.5 M. Year|Amount 2009/2010|€6,225,219 2010/2011|€9,945,473 2011/2012|€7,260,000 2012/2013|€7,950,000…

Year|Amount
2009/2010|€6,225,219
2010/2011|€9,945,473
2011/2012|€7,260,000
2012/2013|€7,950,000
2013/2014|€11,255,984

Having about 60% of the market, Eircom would have to absorb about €25 M of that itself. But that still leaves ComReg with the difficult decision of whether to tell the rest of the industry Vodafone, Magnet, Digiweb etc that they owe Eircom the balance; €17M.

Why was privatisation a good idea?
Can we have a review period since and what might have happened with:
1) Stupid state management
2) Intelligent state management

Why wasn't USO extended to Broadband 10 years ago?
