Eircom will face more competition for its high-speed Internet service after the European Union endorsed a regulator’s decision to force the company to cut certain fees.

Eircom, owned by Australia’s Babcock Brown Capital, must remove a charge to its competitors when consumers change from one service to another while staying with the same company, the European Commission said in a statement today in Brussels.

Eircom also must cut a fee paid by rival operators for accessing its network to provide high-speed Internet services, said the EU’s competition authority.
