CHANNEL Islands Competition Regulatory Authorities chief executive John Curran will step down from the position this year.

GUERNSEY POST is being given more freedom to set its own prices.

TELECOMS operators will meet with the regulator to investigate the possibility of blocking adult content on young people’s mobile phones.

BETTER deals on broadband and phone services could be available if the regulator decides to give all operators access to fixed lines next spring, it said yesterday.

THERE was no doubting from the interview he gave last week that Guernsey’s regulator is very keen to be given powers via a competition law to be able to examine island prices in areas other than post, electricity and telecommunications.

A COMPETITION law is saving housebuyers in Jersey £2m. a year and Guernsey’s regulator believes it could have a similar impact here.

UTILITIES regulation in Guernsey will apply a ‘light touch’ from now on, Commerce and Employment minister Carla McNulty Bauer has said.

GUERNSEY Electricity’s tariffs give it an unfair advantage in the energy market and will ultimately lead to higher electricity bills, according to Guernsey Gas managing director Paul Garlick.

FOR hard-pressed taxpayers and consumers there is finally a glimmer of hope that the financial drain they bear in providing gold-plated pensions for the fortunate few in the public sector might – finally – be tackled.

PROPOSALS by Guernsey Post to cut or freeze prices on many of its services have been taken a step further by the regulator, which today announces the pricing structure for the next three years.
