Answering an earlier point:

The key part here is:
Quote:
Network operators will have the right to negotiate agreements on the coordination of civil works with telecoms operators for the purpose of broadband deployment.
If no agreement on such civil work coordination is reached within one month, any party can refer the issue to the competent national dispute settlement body. While the parties must cooperate fully with the dispute settlement body, any party also has the possibility to refer the case to a court.

On a one-to-one basis between operators and altnets rather than between code power operators and local authorities.
Given your incapability to accept being wrong I have better things to do than continue discussing this with a brick wall, though to answer your question yes, PIA has been used.
EDIT: Incidentally the first trial of PIA involved Virgin Media. Fujitsu deployed the network, VM provided the services over it. Greasby in the Wirral. Given you asked it was worth mentioning. Unfortunately the numbers didn't add up as Fujitsu's BDUK bid as part of a consortium with Virgin Media was an 'all or nothing' bid which couldn't work as BDUK was a series of local authority bids rather than a single large tender. PIA was going to be used for that had it come through, hence the trial of PIA and delivering services over an FTTP network at Greasby. |
