FFS, that is was pretty much my point. Developers, such as Barratts will not put in the infrastructure, which is what the article was bemoaning, because a) who pays for it and b) who owns it

There is no USO upon Openreach to lay ducting and install cables for a broadband service. The USO only applies to a telephone service which then allows "functional internet access".

And how would they do that without installing infrastructure? Fairy dust?

The only way to alleviate the problem as highlighted in the first post, is to have a USO upon Openreach to lay ducts for broadband cables

It's the same thing, the infrastructure requires for open reach to provide telephony and Internet is the same fir broadband cables, when you get to residential developments it would be twisted pair from a nearby or new cab.

and allow service providers access to these ducts, in the same way that broadband companies have access to exchanges
|
So you would force openreach to pay for the infrastructure to be built, but then give other operators access to the ducts?

A law needs to be passed to make this happen. As said in the articles, gas, electricity, water needs to be put in anyway, so laying ducting for telecoms should be a breeze on new build estates.

Ease of installation isn't the issue.
