I am preparing draft heads of legislation which will give powers to ComReg on the regulation of television retail broadcasting services. Among other provisions, the proposals will include measures regarding quality of service, price, likely disputes, transparency, dominance, etc., with a view to ensuring that retail broadcasting is regulated appropriately in the public interest. I hope to bring the matter to Government in the next couple of months.

Question No. 119 answered with QuestionNo. 109.
