The future will see Cinergi becoming Ireland's first utility
supermarket, providing an increasing customer base with cost effective
mobile phone services then gas and electricity, to people all over
Ireland.
Cinergi is the first Irish telecommunications
company to be approved for membership of the Direct Selling Association
(DSA). The DSA is a world-wide association that brings together
ethical companies in direct marketing, in order to promote the highest
standards of trading practice and consumer protection. Before being
admitted into membership, companies are submitted to detailed and
stringent investigation to establish that they can be depended on for
reputation, reliability and standards of fair trading. For

Affinity Groups
Cinergi has partnered with many affinity groups of all sizes
throughout the country. Some of their partners include St. Raphael's Garda
Credit Union, Irish Sleep Apnoea Trust, Diabetes Federation, Debra
Ireland, GAA Clubs, and Rugby clubs. Cinergi provides a unique,
straightforward and new "Revenue Generating" opportunity for all
organisations.
Deregulation of the Irish Telephone Market
The Irish Government has responsibility to regulate the
telecommunications industry to ensure freedom of opportunity to all
members of society. Prior to 1998, the Irish telephone market
was heavily regulated. In fact, there was only one semi state
company, Bord Telecom Eireann providing virtually all telecommunication
services to the Irish public . Bord Telecom Eireann controlled the market
to the exclusion of all competitors. The Governments aim then was to
ensure everyone in Ireland could afford to enjoy the advantage of
telephone ownership. In 1980 Telecom Eireann was the largest
employer in Ireland and one of the worst European telephone systems. Irish
consumers paid considerably more for their telephone service than
consumers in other European countries and the USA. Lack of
competition in the market drove prices upwards, stifled investment in
infrastructure and slowed innovation. To correct this situation, the
Director of Telecommunications Regulation decided to privatise Telecom
Éireann, i.e., sell shares of the company to investors on the stock
exchange. The Government also opened up the telecoms market to
competition. This process is called deregulation.
On the 1st December 1998, deregulation of the
Irish telecommunications market took effect. Twenty one (21) general
licences were awarded to firms to begin providing telecoms networks and
services to the Irish public. Cinergi Telecom was one of those and
is now a leading telecommunications service provider in Ireland. The
company is 100% Irish and is fully licensed by the Commission for
Communications Regulation (ComReg).
The
Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg) was established on 1
December 2002. ComReg is the statutory body responsible for the
regulation of the electronic communications sector (telecommunications,
radio communications and broadcasting transmission) and the postal sector.
ComReg enables competition in the communications sector by facilitating
market entry through a general authorisation to provide networks and
services and by regulating access to networks so as to develop effective
choice for consumers both business and residential.
