Mobile operators continue to need to support additional voice and data usage as a result of the COVID-19 public health response. ComReg has therefore decided to make temporary rights of use for spectrum available for up to a further six months.

I wish ComReg had a magic wand we could use to make scam calls disappear. But as the reports on

2.6 GHz spectrum is tricky to use because of possible interference with air traffic control radar. This’ll be fixed in coming months but we’re open to evaluating whether it can be safely used at specific sites in the meantime.

The 700 MHz spectrum was previously used for broadcasting. I had forgotten that the last site using it was retuned on 4 March - just over 3 weeks ago. It feels a lot longer though. 🥱 We’ll probably be close to a world record for re-assigning spectrum.

So don’t give out personal information. Hang up and call back on an official customer service number that you have checked yourself. If someone puts you under pressure, they’re a scammer trying to manipulate you. Call your local garda station if you think you’ve been scammed. 7/8

You’re right: end-user blocking can be useful. Some people block numbers outside their own contacts from ringing, so they show up as missed calls. But scammers often pretend to be coming from eg Irish mobiles and not many people would want to block the whole 08 range.

Cate - Sorry we didn’t quite get to your question. My take - Especially if interest rates remain low, there will be capital to invest in networks. Risk of end-user uptake of better services will probably look lower. ½
