Calling time on mobile bill rip-off: 25% cut in store
The EC approved plans by telecoms watchdog, the Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg), to force Vodafone and O2 to open up their networks to other firms in a bid to lower prices.
ComReg says charges in Ireland are 35% more expensive than the European average. The average monthly mobile bill for Irish consumers is €47, compared to €31 on the Continent.
