Under the EU Communications Framework which came into force in the UK just a few months ago, it's not necessary for a provider to have SMP for the regulator to get involved with how they use their network infrastructure.

If this helps me get superfast broad band instead of lame ass Sky/BT copper broadband then bring it on .We are in the ludicrous situation with Virgin cable 500yrds away but they are not interested in extending their network and BT have no plans to give us fibre so if another provider wants to build their own customer base and network but doesn't have the finance to dig up roads and lay miles of pipes then they should be able to use existing ones.
On a side note have we actually stumbled across a good thing from the EU
