| UK ready to spend billions on fibre Needs to end network constipation The UK is set to create the conditions for BT to invest billions of pounds in rolling out full-fibre broadband nationwide by giving it flexibility on the pricing of its fastest services for the long term. The regulator Ofcom has a cunning plan to allow all companies the opportunity to achieve a fair return over their whole investment period. This means that the firms will not have to introduce cost-based prices for fibre services for at least ten years. The new regulations, which will apply to BT’s national Openreach network until March 2026, allow the company to keep the price it charges operators for entry-level 40 Mbit/s broadband and slower copper packages flat and charge more for regulated products delivered over full fibre instead of copper. “This approach improves the investment case for BT and its rivals by providing them with a margin to build the new networks,” it said. https://fudzilla.com/news/network/52...lions-on-fibre |
