The regulator believes that it will deliver more market competition and may speed-up the roll-out of new broadband services around the UK (e.g. backhaul capacity to support new networks).<\/p>\n<p>Naturally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> warns that the solution is a &#8220;<em>flawed piece of regulation that introduces an unnecessary layer of complexity and will deter others from building their own fibre networks<\/em>&#8221; and they&#8217;ve attracted support from other infrastructure builders, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">Cityfibre<\/a> and Zayo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">Cityfibre<\/a> has an active competition case against DFA (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/07\/cityfibre-takes-ofcom-uk-court-protection-bts-dark-fibre.html\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2012 even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> had their doubts about DFA, with the regulator warning that such a solution could &#8220;<em>carry significant risks of worse outcomes, both for consumers and for effective competition, including adding costs and encouraging inefficient entry<\/em>.&#8221; How times change.<\/p>\n<p>Never the less <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> published its first Draft Reference Offer in August 2016 (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/08\/bt-openreach-publishes-first-uk-dark-fibre-reference-offer-isps.html\">here<\/a>), although a recent update from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.offta.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Office of the Telecommunications Adjudicator<\/a> noted that there were still disagreements over contract length (36 month term), Service Level Guarantees, Service Level Agreements for repair work, the price of an abortive visit and cancellation charges (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/11\/ota-reveals-final-stumbling-blocks-bts-uk-dark-fibre-product.html\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>However we assume that some semblance of agreement must have been reached because Openreach has today published their <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.openreach.co.uk\/orpg\/home\/products\/darkfibreaccess\/darkfibreaccess.do\">Final Draft Reference Offer<\/a><\/strong>, which states that the DFA product will be available on a 12 month term (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.openreach.co.uk\/orpg\/home\/products\/darkfibreaccess\/contracts\/contracts.do\" target=\"_blank\">see contract<\/a>). Mind you this is still a draft and the official product won&#8217;t be launched until <strong>1st October 2017<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Geographic coverage<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The regulated Dark Fibre Access product will be available, to all interested CPs, from product launch on 1 October 2017. It will be available on a national basis in the regulated areas, as laid down by Ofcom in their 2016 Business Connectivity Market review (BCMR). The regulated areas, as specified in the BCMR Statement, are the whole of the UK with the exception of Hull, Central London, Core routes and Data Centres.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Services<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Openreach Dark Fibre Access service offers an uncontended, unmonitored, unlit optical path over an end to end radial distance of up to 45km and a maximum route distance of 86km between two sites. This will be a passive service and no equipment will be provided to light the fibre provide, hence the reference to \u2018dark fibre\u2019 in the product title.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #339966;\"><strong>Product options<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The service will be available with two variants, <em>Standard<\/em> and <em>Local Access<\/em> options, with both being able to be ordered as either a single fibre or fibre pair option, so depending on the overall active solution that customers are planning to operate they can choose the product variant that best suits their needs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The price of Openreach&#8217;s DFA product is linked to their 1Gbps <strong>Ethernet Access Direct<\/strong> (EAD) service, thus, whenever the price for EAD 1Gbps changes, the corresponding DFA price will change by the same absolute amount.<\/p>\n<p>On this front not a lot has changed since the first draft (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openreach.co.uk\/orpg\/home\/products\/darkfibreaccess\/darkfibreaccess\/downloads\/DFAfinalreferenceofferpricing011216.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">DFA prices<\/a>), but the one-off connection prices have become a bit cheaper at points and range from around \u00a32,022.98 to \u00a33,056.22 +vat. Meanwhile rentals run from around \u00a31,968.97 to \u00a34,992.60 per year.<\/p>\n<p>Openreach will hold another industry meeting call for the DFA product on 5th December next month to go over the details and the related <strong>Dark Fibre Industry Working Group<\/strong> (DF IWG) is expected to hold its next face-to-face meeting on 13th December.<\/p>\n<p>Once again it&#8217;s important not to confuse all this with Ofcom&#8217;s other wholesale <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/02\/a-closer-look-at-ofcoms-proposed-bt-openreach-duct-and-pole-access-fix.html\"><strong>Duct and Pole Access <\/strong><\/a>(DPA) remedy, which will give rivals access to use BT\u2019s (Openreach) underground cable ducts and telegraph poles (i.e. two different sides of the same coin). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">Cityfibre<\/a> and others welcome DPA, even if a few of them have had trouble using it (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/05\/challenges-cityfibre-moot-using-bt-cable-ducts-southend-sea.html\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/08\/vodafone-uk-moots-building-fibre-optic-broadband-network.html\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Openreach (BT) has today released their Final Draft Reference Offer for the new Dark Fibre Access (DFA) product, which is required by Ofcom and should give rival ISPs &#8220;physical access&#8221; to the operator&#8217;s existing fibre optic cables (i.e. allows them to &#8220;take direct control of the connection&#8220;).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[474,472,478,52,36,69],"class_list":["post-13029","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-bt","tag-business","tag-ethernet","tag-fibre-optic","tag-ofcom-regulation","tag-bt-openreach"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
