Sky are also known to be calling for a semi-similar solution known as <strong>SLU Bitstream<\/strong>, which is effectively a fully unbundled (LLU) style of <strong>Fibre-to-the-Cabinet<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a>) product (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2013\/07\/ofcom-uk-considers-sky-broadband-call-for-unbundled-fttc-product.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile <strong>Passive Infrastructure Access<\/strong> (PIA) allows rival operators to make use of BTOpenreach&#8217;s existing cable ducts and telegraph poles in order to run their own fibre optic services, which can at present only be used for serving residential premises (not a problem for Sky, which is predominantly focused on that sector). One standard condition of the PIA product is that the operator must have Code Powers.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Sky are also working alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">Cityfibre<\/a> to deploy a 1000Mbps capable <strong>Fibre-to-the-Home<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ftth\">FTTH<\/a>) network in the city of York, with two more cities to follow (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2014\/04\/sky-broadband-talktalk-cityfibre-launch-1gbps-home-broadband-york.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).

This is largely to help fuel its broadband network\u2019s capacity needs.<\/p>\n<p>Funnily enough BTS already has Code Powers, although BSkyB wants to have the same powers applied more generally to its own name rather than BTS.
