Proposed code of practice would force Irish firms out of business, court told
A body representing Irish companies providing premium services to mobile phone will be immediately forced out of business and their market taken over by foreign firms if a new code of practice for the industry is introduced, the High Court has heard.
Phone Paid services Association Ltd (PPSA) which represents more than 50 providers of Premium Rates Services, such as text based competitions, charity donation services, peer-to-peer chat services, ring tone and video clips, has brought a legal action aimed at preventing Comreg's new code of practise for the industry from coming into force on June 5 next.
