UKNM: unmetered telecommunications

[Rick Sareen]

Yesterday OFTEL issued its consultative document on Access to Bandwith.

http://www.oftel.gov.uk/competition/llu0799.htm.


The document is fairly complex, but the bottom line is that they have gone

for Option 2:  BT will be forced to unbundle the local loop by July 2001

and the rolling out of ADSL will begin almost immediately.


Today's issue of Marketing has a 2 page article on the subject of

unmetering (page 25) that sets out all the issues in a clear fashion. (But

was written before the OFTEL judgement.)


This ends BT's hegemony and opens the way for significant e-commerce

developments and opportunities.


This is what the beginning of an S-Curve feels like :-)
