Analysys Mason&#8217;s findings in its report for BDUK may be influenced by its desire to secure more commercial work from BT.<\/p>\n<p>An organisation which is writing pieces which purport to demonstrate that we will not be able to build a competitive fibre network &#8230; is likely as a matter of course to give less weight to our views than to the views of its client BT.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The situation could perhaps be seen as an extension of the already bitter row over the future of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> (BT) as part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a>&#8217;s Strategic Review, as well as any potential role that TalkTalk or other alternative networks may seek for themselves as part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/bduk\" target=\"_blank\">Broadband Delivery UK<\/a> programme\u2019s future roll-out contracts.<\/p>\n<p>Mind you it&#8217;s worth pointing out that TalkTalk is working with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">Cityfibre<\/a> on an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ftth\">FTTH<\/a>\/P roll-out in York, although we suspect they wouldn\u2019t view that as conflict on the subject of Dark Fibre, even though both seem to reflect different sides of the competition argument.<\/p>\n<p>Analysys Mason has also done plenty of non-BT commissioned work on broadband connectivity, such as this recent report for the EU (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/10\/study-224bn-needed-cover-eu-homes-1gbps-broadband.html\">here<\/a>) that delved into the costs of a pure fibre optic deployment.<\/p>\n<p>We asked BT for a comment but they have declined and we&#8217;re still waiting to hear from Analysys Mason, although they&#8217;ve already declined to respond to a similar request from The Telegraph and so we don&#8217;t hold out much hope. Meanwhile the Government said that Analysys Mason won the contract via a &#8220;<em>fair and transparent<\/em>&#8221; open tender process.<\/p>\n<p>In other news one of BT&#8217;s shareholders, Aviva Investors, has suggested that the operator should at least &#8220;<em>explore<\/em>&#8221; the option of completely separating itself from their prized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> network access division (<a href=\"http:\/\/uk.reuters.com\/article\/uk-bt-group-aviva-idUKKBN1310VA\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).
