Eircom Ltd is asking the High Court to place a stay on a regulator-imposed change to the wholesale price it can charge to other providers for access to its broadband network.

Eircom, which claims the new price structure will cost it millions, is seeking the stay on it pending the outcome of the hearing of its appeal against last December's decision of the communications regulator, Comreg, to impose the change.
