Why would it be a good thing? At the moment vm stm their own customers without any wholesale going on, and they do seem to be bandwidth constrained,if vm do wholesale and the system becomes more congested, would vms very own customers be even more stmd sorry do not see how this could be good news at all.
Of course as broadbandings,pointed out above the eu may or may not force vm to open up its network however that remains to be seen, i do not believe at this moment in time they will do. The future however may be different vm is a wholly privately owned concern,will the eu try to run vms private buisiness by telling them to open up the jury is out on that one.
Vm is not the dominent market force in its sector as such, so either ofcom or the eu have no real reason to act.
