Ofcom has decided that BT are to allow competitors control of its fibre cables in a move designed to promote the take-up of superfast broadband services. They have also insisted that the telecoms giant must give rival ISPs access to its underground ducts and telegraph poles to build their own fibre networks. However, the regulators have left the decision of pricing in the hands of BT.
The decision offers support to the ambitious and ongoing roll out of superfast broadband. Originally the plan was to nationally deliver access to basic 2Mbps broadband everywhere by 2012, however, the Government have pushed this back to 2015. A date that will put us behind in the European Union, which wants member states to provide citizens with a minimum of 30Mbps broadband by 2020 and basic broadband connections by 2013.
