There&#8217;s a bit of movement in the discussion with BT on other stuff. But to be honest, it&#8217;s not enough. It&#8217;s just managing our movement, not yet what we need to really have them in the right place. But we will continue and we&#8217;re engaged in the discussion.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Last year it was speculated that Vodafone might demand some degree of exclusivity over any jointly built infrastructure (e.g. initial sole use of the infrastructure and first access to the fastest speeds etc.), which might upset rival ISPs in a market where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> is required to provide fair and equal access. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> could be flexible but only up to a point.<\/p>\n<p>Another challenge would be the very different costings and wholesale arrangements that exist between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">Cityfibre<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> networks, which could make it difficult to offer a simplified set of products to consumers at the same price. Vodafone are currently also focused on building fixed line broadband market share through a strategy of very aggressive pricing and that would be harder to deliver via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> from Openreach than Cityfibre.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, at the start of this year ISPreview.co.uk also asked Vodafone about the prospect of them adopting Openreach&#8217;s new 330Mbps capable hybrid fibre <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/gfast\">G.fast<\/a> broadband technology (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2018\/01\/vodafone-uk-focus-ftth-no-firm-plans-g-fast-broadband.html\">here<\/a>). The operator responded to say that they had &#8220;<em>no firm plans to launch<\/em>&#8221; this and were focused on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ftth\">FTTH<\/a>, although it&#8217;s possible that their position may change as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/gfast\">G.fast<\/a> coverage is expected to expand rapidly to 10 million premises by 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The outgoing CEO of Vodafone Group, Vittorio Colao, has told an investors meeting, which was discussing their plans for next generation broadband ISP and mobile infrastructure, that they&#8217;re still talking with BT (Openreach) about the possibility of an agreement on fibre services but they&#8217;re not yet in the &#8220;right place.&#8221;<\/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":[474,65,56,417,69,96],"class_list":["post-16120","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-bt","tag-ftth","tag-fttp","tag-g-fast","tag-bt-openreach","tag-vodafone"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
