Ende der Selbstregulierung: Neues Gesetz soll vor Abzocke schützen


Die irische Regulierungsbehörde Regtel hat den Missbrauch von Mehrwertdiensten nicht in den Griff gekriegt. Statt Wattestäbchen soll es nun "empfindliche Strafen" geben.

The Premium Rates Services Bill proposed by Minister for Communications Éamon Ryan proposes substantial fines for abuses by operators of popular phone services such as ringtones, wallpapers, chatlines, competitions and information services, The Irish Times understands.

The Bill also proposes an end to self-regulation by the industry, which will in future be subject to supervision by the State’s telecommunications watchdog, ComReg.

Richtig so.
