Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 15 November 2012
158. Deputy Arthur Spring asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if his attention has been drawn to the fact that mobile phone companies appear to be restricting access to Skype to customers on their mobile internet products. [50742/12]
View answerThe provision of telecommunications network services, including Skype services, is a matter in the first instance, for private sector service providers operating in a liberalised market regulated by the Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg). I am advised by ComReg that they have just recently received a small number of consumer complaints in respect of the blocking of Skype and are currently investigating the matter.
