 BROADBAND COMPETITION NEEDS NEW POLICY APPROACH, CONFIRMS PARLIAMENTARY REPORT 10th February 2004

" "Ofcom now has a unique opportunity to create a level playing field where true competition is possible, and where businesses and consumers can benefit from the full potential of broadband. Without decisive action a true mass market in broadband will remain beyond our grasp." Notes to Editors The Broadband Industry Group was formally launched in London on 19th November. The founder members are: Brightview Cable & Wireless Centrica Energis Freeserve Tiscali The Broadband Industry Group, terms of reference, set out five key aims: The introduction of cost plus pricing for DSL broadband services Carrier quality terms and conditions for wholesale broadband services A level, competitive, playing field for all internet service providers The simultaneous introduction of retail and wholesale SDSL products Cost transparency in relation to wholesale broadband service provision |
