<P><FONT SIZE=2>All,</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Friday last week, Telecom.paper reported on a draft direction by Irish </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>ComReg to allow access to the new '076' number range for VoIP services:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2><A HREF="http://www.telecompaper.com/index.asp?t=a&i=68293&n=730" TARGET="_blank">http://www.telecompaper.com/index.asp?t=a&i=68293&n=730</A></FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>===</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Ireland's Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg) has issued </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>draft Directions to allow access to the new '076' number range for VoIP </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>services. Last October, ComReg made the 076 phone number range available </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>to telecoms providers. To date, telecoms providers have not succeeded in negotiating terms that would allow 076 numbers to be connected to the </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>wider telecoms network. ComReg is intervening to assist industry put in </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>place, a preliminary framework for prices and settlements. Specifically, </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>ComReg's draft directions propose two price points to facilitate </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>telephone calls to VoIP numbers.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>ComReg will accept responses to the draft directions from interested </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>parties up until the 3 March.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>===</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>It wasn't possible to get that confirmed by ComReg's website, though.</FONT>
