Ofcom tells bt to open up ducts
 
Bt have to open thier underground ducts to other isp's so couldnt this offer Virgin a cheap way to increase thier underground cabled areas?
If they could that would really help fight sky for subscribers.

This is more suited to the news section...

Interesting article though. :)

Moved to Current Affairs, seeing as it's quite a wide-ranging subject.

Can anyone else predict BT engineers 'accidentally' damaging the third party cabling in the ducts?

Thanks for moving it chris. It wasnt getting much attention where i posted it anyway! lol

It just seems to open up options to virgin as they are alrready looking at using bt phone poles already.
Be good to see a much wider nationwide coverage to compete with sky.
A wider coverage is likely to create competition with sky than ofcom rulings. (although welcome of course)
