The Irish Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg) issued this consultation document in 2008. This consultation document addresses the various pricing methodologies that can be used by ComReg to set the price for Local Loop Unbundling (LLU).
In particular, the consultation document addresses three issues that should inform the choice of appropriate pricing methodology for setting a LLU price. These three issues are:
(a) the extent to which the presence of alternative broadband infrastructures to digital subscriber line (DSL) should be taken into account in setting prices, and how this should be reconciled with the need to encourage the take-up of LLU;
(b)an analysis of the pricing methodologies adopted in the EU15 group of countries; and
(c) the options for assessing the costs of LLU.
