Telecoms analyst firm Point Topic has published research that helps to explain why Ofcom has proposed to block one of Openreach’s new discounts on their full fibre (FTTP) broadband products (here).

Firefighters in Derbyshire (England) recently provided a good unintentional demonstration of why services like the new O2 Satellite add-on are so useful. The teams, who were responding to the wildfire near Tintwistle, were able to use the UK service to maintain mobile connectivity in an area with no traditional 4G or 5G mobile network coverage.

However, you’ll soon be more aware as they’ve finally started to integrate Luna into their main Prime Video app, albeit with a catch.

The owner of comparison site BroadbandSwitch.uk, Dr Alex J. Martin-Smith, has clearly been channelling some of his inner love for the retro video game Transport Tycoon because he’s just launched a new game that anybody can play for free called Fibre Tycoon.

The Guernsey Competition & Regulatory Authority (GCRA) has decided to exempt most travel eSIM providers from needing a licence. “The GCRA’s view is that most travel eSIM services bought by Guernsey consumers for use overseas are unlikely to require a Guernsey telecommunications licence,” said the regulator.
