ComReg is Ireland’s statutory communications regulator, wielding authority over market entry, spectrum, numbering, and anti-scam measures. The evidence is based on official government and regulator publications, but lacks current financials and live network data. Future annual reports, routing changes for AS214055, and Sender ID Registry enforcement statistics will refine the assessment.
