  • While residential gigabit access has been technically feasible for years, few service providers have included it in their portfolios. It seemed highly unlikely that the customers would be willing to pay for such speeds, let alone actually perceive a change ...

Has Ofcom Gone Far Enough in Regulating Openreach ?

Last week Ofcom finally released its long awaited Strategic Review of Digital Communications. It was this document that could have formed the basis for structural separation. It did not.

As I argued a number of times, structural separation

Solutions for Long Term Infrastructure Investment

Back in November I participated in an event in London organised by the Reform Think Tank about the future of broadband in Britain and, in particular, the debate around structural separation. The videos were uploaded by Reform, but unfortunately

Is Structural Separation in the UK really that risky?

I rarely disagree with the excellent Martyn Warwick, but sometimes there are exceptions. In an article in Telecom TV entitled BT Threatens Decades of Litigation Over Forced Sale of Openreach, Martin concludes that:

An ill-considered and badly executed sale

Does the Great Firewall Protect me from the NSA?

Yesterday I tweeted in jest (and in French) that it felt weird to think that the Great Firewall of China might be protecting me from the NSA. Since then that thought has been percolating in my brain, and I’m not

Speaking at Next Gen 12

We only ever attended one Next Gen event (in Scotland last June) but we really liked the way the event was run and the content that was highlighted. Speakers were good and relevant, plenty of opportunity for discussions and networking.

State aid by any other name…

It would be an understatement from my part to stress that I don’t think the broadband proceedings in the UK are going in the right direction. It’s the prerogative of any private business – including incumbent BT – to focus
