ComReg - Information Notice - 04/67 [Extract] - June 11th 2004
1. Introduction
Carrier Pre-Selection (CPS) enables consumers to exercise their choice by selecting
in advance a specific operator to carry some or all of their telephone calls.
CPS is a vital part of the Irish fixed telecommunications market. It allows for the possibility of competition in the fixed market by new and existing operators without the barrier to entry of large capital investment in extensive infrastructure.
The Code of Practice for CPS sets out the rules and procedures which operators wishing to offer CPS services in the Republic of Ireland must follow. It covers customer contracts, use of customer information, order-handling process, promotion of CPS, bill payment, tariff presentation, complaint and enquiry handling and the activities of the telecommunications service providers to win back lost customers. All undertakings providing CPS and eircom are bound by the CPS Code of Practice 1 .
ComReg conducts investigations on an ongoing basis into adherence to the CPS Code of Practice in response to issues raised by operators and consumers alike. ComReg may notify an operator that it is in breach of its obligations and require the operator to remedy such breach within a specified time. Further, ComReg may publish the particulars of such notification.
This Information Notice contains details of a complaint made against Ryanair Telecom and the findings, of ComReg, in respect of a breach by Ryanair Telecom of an obligation under the CPS Code of Practice.
The legislative basis for the investigation of the complaint and publication of this Information Notice by ComReg is set out in Appendix A.
