..... well, that's the first I've heard of that.

In my area, the only people who have access to the poles and ducts are BT/OPenreach.

This is a significant move because it will force OPenreach to allow access to their poles and ducts and ensure that competitors have all the information on the location and type of poles and ducts.

I think give them 5-10 years and Sky will become the largest "cable" operator in the country once they've access to Bt's infrastructure. I reckon they'll roll out FTTP as fast as they can.

Roll on competition.
