I wonder how much Mr. ComReg himself is paid? I also think the technical consultancy fees are huge. If the consultancy rate was (say) 1000 euro a day then that's equivalent to having 11 consultants on-site for each day of the year including weekends and bank-holidays. Now if that's not easy money then I don't know what is.
