BT Rivals Sky, TalkTalk and Voda Push 10 Point Plan for a Better Openreach

A new “all-industry coalition“, which represents alternative network providers and major UK players like Sky Broadband, TalkTalk and Vodafone, has today put pressure on Ofcom to deliver on its Strategic Review by publishing a plan that sets out how they think the regulator should deliver a better and more independent Openreach.

Openreach, which is responsible for maintaining and upgrading BT’s national UK telecoms and broadband network, is intended to be “functionally separate” from BT so as to treat competitors fairly. But Ofcom’s review found that the organisation “still has an incentive to make decisions in the interests of BT, rather than BT’s competitors, which can lead to competition problems.”

So they not letting ofcom take a low profile on this it seems.

Isn't this all an effort to sway the court of public opinion? They'll be giving their opinions to Ofcom as a matter of course.
