The Telecommunications Adjudicator (OTA), Peter Black, has released his latest monthly (April'07) report on the status of UK local loop unbundling (
LLU) -
HERE. Unfortunately Mr Black has failed to issue precise figures, stating merely "
more than 2 million unbundled LLU lines", making it sound similar to Marchs report.
The update also includes new information on the OTA's progress towards its revised OTA2 scheme:
The OTA2 scheme is now in operation. Representatives of the Wholesale Line Rental (WLR) industry have attended the first OTA2 Executive and the Chair of the WLR/CPS Commercial Forum has agreed to be the liaison between the WLR/CPS Commercial Forum and the OTA2 Exec to ensure they are properly represented within the OTA2 scheme. A new Director has joined the OTA, he is Mark Dalziel and he will also be working on NGNuk projects.
The key LLU challenges for the OTA2 are:
* Tactical Improvement of the Migrations Processes & Industry-wide adoption
* Fully Unbundled Line (MPF) Processes Further Industrialised and Sustainable Quality Improvements
* EMP Quality and Stability of surrounding support processes becoming a non issue
* Strategic Solutions for the Migrations Processes
