Division overview 

Wholesale 

The Wholesale Division within ComReg works to progress competition in electronic communications markets. Specifically, it analyses markets, introduces regulation with a view to improving levels of competition and reducing barriers to entry, and monitors compliance with market regulation.

Within the Wholesale Division, the Pricing Team is responsible for setting and monitoring the prices of regulated products in the telecoms and broadcasting sectors. We also monitor regulated activities through the review of Separated Accounts.

Wholesale Pricing team members work on multi-disciplinary project teams often including external consultants. Each project requires the drafting of public consultations and decisions which constructively present relevant financial and economic rationale & principles, and often involve developing, updating, and implementing pricing/cost models.
