Ofcom To Cap LLU Rental Price
Posted: 07th Sep, 2005 By: MarkJ
Ofcom has proposed that rival (non-BT) operators should pay no more than £81.85 for a fully unbundled local loop (LLU), which is roughly in line with BT's current pricing:
BT last month voluntarily reduced its fully unbundled local loop charge to £80 from £105.09. Ofcom said its planned cap on charges would prevent BT from raising prices excessively in the future.
"The ceiling is designed to promote competition in the broadband market by ensuring that BT's charge is fair, reasonable and cost-oriented," Ofcom said.
The watchdog said it planned to allow BT to offer different rates for large business customers spending more than £1m a year on telecom services.
