The Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg) is responsible for the regulation of the electronic communications sector in accordance with national and EU legislation. One of ComReg’s functions in this regard is to regulate the Universal Service Obligation (“USO”) for the Irish market and decide which undertaking(s) should be designated as the Universal Service Provider(s) (“USP”). On 7 July 2014, following a public consultation, ComReg designated eircom as the USP for the provision of telephony services at a fixed location for a period of 18 months – from 7 July 2014 to 31 December 2015.
