LLU Ofcom jobs for the boys

I see that ex-ntl Stephen Carter has appointed ex-ntl CTO Peter Black as the OFCom LLU Honcho.

Probably gave him the post as an apology for booting him out ntl al those years ago.

Quite. I didn't trust Ofcom before, now I don't trust them at all!

Peter Black has worked for BT, Thus and ntl.

As he's worked for those three companies, it at least gives him an incite into concerns telecos have over LLU from both BTs point of view and that of ntl and other ISPs who want to take advantage of it.

I wouldn't really see a problem with it.

Personally I think ofcom should have people who have never worked for a uk telecoms company and so can be unbiased in their decision making, they should have good business background of course but not in uk telecoms.
