Goggle Telecoms Poodle

Ever wondered what a telecoms poodle is? Well a quick Google reveals its Comreg the Irish communications regulator.

Apparently Comreg has earned the name telecoms poodle after rolling over every time the Irish incumbent says Â“Boo!Â” Although in…

[...] Whoever prepared the IrelandOffline deserves a slap on the back, and so too does IrelandOffline chairman Damien Mulley, who’s sounding very comfortable on the air these days. I was particularly impressed with the very slight air of comtempt he used when responding to Dermot Nolan, which made Dermot sound like he was shooting virtual daggers at Damien on the other end of the line. Always good to rile the opposition! You can follow the media coverage on this thread on Boards.ie. « Groovy game · [...]

I heard that welp on the Today-FM while traveling down from Donegal and then latter near Sligo he spouting off on RTE-1 and he was being very rude to the ComReg fellow. After all why would you slap someone like that with the Facts after all, when you can baffle the folks with bullshite.

Because you can, and should. You done good!

Up the Rebel Cork.

[...] ComReg’s quarterly report came out and we are still being ripped off, and getting nowhere further, they are now just leaving out graphs that are quite important to show where we are. I’ll let Damien do the breakdown. Kudos to him and IrelandOffline for always keeping up with ComReg’s reports full of smoke and mirrors and bringing out the truth to the state telecoms in this country. [...]

[...] When it comes to incompetence relating to computers and the internet. I am delighted to see that none of the emails I sent off to hotels in Timisoara, Romania last week were answered – with one bounceback. So I’m sure that Comreg (aka Telecoms Watch-Poodle) will be delighted to hear that Ireland isn’t the only country where you need to make a phone call in order to get anything done. After getting pummeled in the media this week, they’ll be looking for another reason to pat each other on the back to complement each other on a job well done. [...]

“ComReg said it â€œstrongly refutesâ€? any charge that it is selective in presenting its pricing data”

ComReg do no such thing. They *deny* the charges all right, but as you ably demonstate Damien, they have abjectly failed to refute them.

Valid point there Damien. As for texts, I do about 400-500 a month myself. Have that special text bundle deal from 02. I rarely make outgoing calls on the mobile.

As far as I can tell all the ComReg Commissioners and the PR Manager were off or away today. Kind of not the thing to do after just releasing a quarterly report. They were going to go on Newstalk and changed their mind and said they’d send a written statement instead. Poodles!
