Libert Global is progressing their plans to launch a new “full fibre<\/em>” broadband network – Liberty Networks<\/a> – that will be independent of their existing Virgin Media<\/a> brand in the United Kingdom. The cable giant has just put in a related application for Code Powers with Ofcom<\/a>, which usually happens before a roll-out begins.<\/p>\n

Securing Code Powers<\/strong><\/a> from Ofcom<\/a> can help to speed-up the deployment of new fibre optic networks and cut costs by reducing the number of licenses needed for street works. The application doesn’t reveal much, but it does confirm that they’re planning the “construction and operation of a high-speed broadband network across the UK … [to] serve homes, businesses and public sector organisations<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Liberty Networks (aka – Project Hermes<\/strong>) also confirmed that they may deploy parts of their network in Openreach<\/a>’s (BT<\/a>) existing cable ducts and poles (using the Physical Infrastructure Access<\/strong> (PIA) product), which is no surprise since Virgin Media<\/a> are already doing this and PIA has been made a lot more attractive by recent changes (a lot of alternative network ISPs are now using it).<\/p>\n

Originally the CEO of Liberty Global, Mike Fries<\/strong>, made no secret of his desire to use Liberty Networks as a platform with which to expand Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) broadband into the 10 million or so premises that exist beyond Virgin Media<\/a>’s current network (many of these are in rural areas). This could then have been offered via wholesale to Virgin Media and other ISPs, like Sky Broadband<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However the most recent speculation (here<\/a>) is that Liberty Global may also split their existing Hybrid Fibre Coax<\/strong> (HFC) and FTTP<\/a> broadband network off into the new company too and then sell access to rival ISPs (e.g. Sky Broadband<\/a>, TalkTalk<\/a>) via wholesale, albeit with Virgin Media being given special access as the anchor tenant.<\/p>\n

Such a move would be likely to placate some of Ofcom<\/a>’s potential regulatory concerns, thus allowing the network coverage to continue growing and enabling them to bid on future broadband contracts (e.g. the Government’s \u00a35bn rural gigabit programme), while also establishing Liberty Networks as a major national rival to Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>). This would be a truly seismic shift in the UK broadband market.<\/p>\n

The question now is how much longer will we have to wait before Liberty Global formally announces their plans. Meanwhile Ofcom will consult upon their request until 21st February 2020, although they almost never reject them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
