QUESTION TO BE ASKED OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE ON TUESDAY 2nd DECEMBER 2003, BY THE DEPUTY OF ST. JOHN
Question
Would the President advise –
( a ) what licensing fees are charged by the Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority, (JCRA), in respect of
Jersey Telecom? and,
(b) how much in fees has the JCRA received since its inception, and what proportion of these fees have been collected from Jersey Telecom?
Answer
- This was initially set at 2%ofthe regulated turnover of licensed telecommunications operators butwaslater revised to1.5%of regulated turnover. It is anticipated to belowernextyear.
- The JCRA was established in May2001, and the total amountof licence fees received overthe two and a half yearsto date has been £955,000.
In the interests of business confidentiality, it is not appropriate to divulge the exact proportions of licence fees charged to operators, although clearly the main bulk of fees have been paid by Jersey Telecom as the Island's main telecommunications provider. This may change over time if more operators enter the market.
