 £11 MIGRATION CHARGE: A SIGNIFICANT STEP 28 April 2004
"We welcome the fall in IPStream to DataStream migration charges. The Broadband Industry Group members have been pressing for a reduction in wholesale migration charges for 10 months and are pleased that one of the many steps needed for the creation of a genuinely competitive wholesale broadband market has been taken" "Nevertheless it will have little significance without a fair wholesale margin and efficient bulk and individual migration processes. This margin won't be announced by Ofcom until the end of May - twelve months after Oftel first published its Wholesale Broadband Access Market Review. The Group will only truly recognise success when a level regulatory playing field that allows real wholesale competition is achieved." Notes to Editors Founder members of the Broadband Industry Group are: Cable & Wireless; Centrica; Energis; Freeserve, Tiscali and Brightview. The Broadband Industry Group has 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 broadband service providers; The simultaneous introduction of retail and wholesale DSL products; Cost transparency in relation to wholesale broadband service provision.
