EU Clears Ofcom Plan for BT Dark Fibre, Lower Prices and Faster Installs

As expected the European Commission has approved Ofcom’s Business Connectivity Market Review 2016 (BCMR) proposals, which among other things pledged to open up access to BT’s national Dark Fibre network, cut leased line (Ethernet) prices and deliver quicker installations. But the regulator did reject two of the EC’s proposed tweaks.

Broadly speaking there appear to have been no significant changes from what the United Kingdom’s national telecoms regulator outlined on 22nd March 2016, although the EC did make two non-binding comments on what Ofcom had proposed.
