Re: Ofcom considers BT 'dominance'

3 - talktalk trashed the adsl market years ago when they gave out free broadband, clearly a lossleader, now they take offense of someone else charging less than them.
4 - I am not a fan of BT but to me BT is the one who spent the cash on FTTC, talktalk are just piggybacking of it so it seems fair BT do have a market advantage for that reason alone, if talktalk dont like paying a wholesaler they can of course deploy their own local loop.
5 - The last complaint of this nature led to speed differential pricing been dropped which to me was an aweful move (one price fits all adsl max services), this could potentially make BT retail ditch their 40/10 product.
6 - As a infinity customer my bill may go up for no reason other than talktalk's complaint.
