BT Opens Its Ducts for Other Internet Service Providers
February 8, 2010
Ian Livingston, BT Chief Executive mentioned that, the company is glad to allow other providers to use their ducts to run cables. This initiation comes as an intention to make broadband available across the UK.
Livingston continues that the idea existed since last year itself. Already, discussions have moved with Ofcom.
He adds that, if the ducts are open to every provider, it will help considerably to increase the coverage. Since this idea seems fruitful, Livingston says, they expect support form the next government.
To the end of last year itself, Livingston has brought to the notice, the need for financial assistances form the future government for the execution of the plan.
BT’s proposed optical fibre broadband network of 1.5 billion pounds investment is expected to increase the download speeds 10 times. The innovation is likely to exist by the time of next summer Olympics. BT aims to get back the huge investment by having fixed deals with other service providers.
