Recent discussions, largely driven by Openreach<\/a>, are pushing for regulatory changes to ease access to Multi-Dwelling Units (MDUs). In response, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has sought input from internet service providers (ISPs), but there has been little representation from freeholders.<\/p>\n

With over 35 years of experience working with both freeholders and full-fibre ISPs, we have a unique insight into the barriers to fibre broadband delivery in MDUs. This experience has led to the development of the following solutions:<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> This article is a special Guest Editorial for ISPreview.co.uk, which has been written by Steve Chesterman<\/strong>, the Operations Director of SCCI Alphatrack<\/strong><\/a> (SCCI Group), a specialist in the design, supply, installation and maintenance of highly innovative Fibre, Media and Fire Life safety systems. The views of this author are their own and may not represent those of this website.<\/div>\n

4Fibre<\/strong><\/a>: A neutral, shared full-fibre network supporting multiple providers over a single installation.<\/p>\n

Fibre Assist<\/strong>: Helping freeholders navigate fibre deployment across their entire portfolio.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We believe it’s critical to distinguish between “upgrading<\/em>” and “installing new infrastructure<\/em>.” The installation of fibre is a complex process that involves significant safety considerations, such as asbestos management, fire safety, and resident impact. The term \u201cupgrade<\/em>\u201d oversimplifies what is essentially the creation of a new network.<\/p>\n

Freeholders must maintain control over access to their buildings, ensuring work is done safely and to a high standard. ISPs, focused on speed and cost, may take shortcuts that compromise safety and long-term viability. If ISPs are granted automatic rights, how can freeholders ensure the safety and integrity of their buildings?<\/p>\n

Openreach<\/a>’s push for automatic rights (here<\/a> and here<\/a>) stems from underestimating the complexities of MDU installations, particularly in areas where other ISPs have already deployed, sometimes poorly. Altnets have been navigating these challenges for years, and changing the law to favour one player is unfair to those who have worked within the current framework.<\/p>\n

Paragraph 17 of the Electronic Communications Code (ECC) outlines the conditions for upgrading and sharing infrastructure, stating any changes must have minimal impact on appearance and impose no additional burden on property owners.<\/p>\n

However, upgrading and installing fibre are vastly different. Installing a new fibre in some MDU\u2019s can take up to 10 weeks – demonstrating how misleading the term \u201cupgrade<\/em>\u201d can be. We believe freeholders should retain the right to decide what happens on their property. Loosening planning rules could lead to serious financial and legal consequences.<\/p>\n

Instead of focusing solely on upgrade rights, the government should promote shared, neutral networks like 4Fibre, which allow multiple ISPs to use a single installation, reducing the burden on freeholders and accelerating fibre deployment.<\/p>\n

The Electronic Communications Code already supports shared networks, stating operators have a legal duty to share apparatus whenever practicable. Shared networks should be a government priority alongside upgrade rights.<\/p>\n

We are committed to breaking down barriers to fibre deployment and would welcome further discussions on the key differences between upgrading and new fibre installations. We\u2019ll be at Connected Britain, feel free to stop by stand S131 to talk all things fibre!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
