Telco's Complain BTs ADSL Price Cuts
Posted: 30th Apr, 2003 By: MarkJ
Both mediaWays.uk Ltd and Your Communications have joined others and complained to the UK telecoms regulator, Oftel, about BT wholesale's forthcoming (tomorrow) broadband ADSL price cuts:
Telecoms outfits mediaWays.uk Ltd and Your Communications have joined the chorus of complaints from Energis, Thus and Tiscali alleging that planned price cuts to BT's IPStream product will lead to a margin squeeze.
The price drop announced earlier this month only applies to BT's 'IPStream' service - the wholesale end-to-end service provided by BT Wholesale to the telco's retail operations and other service providers.
However, Energis, Thus, Tiscali (and now mediaWays.uk Ltd and Your Communications) have complained to Oftel claiming that BT has failed to pass on similar price cuts to its wholesale Datastream service - a product that allows other service providers to use their own networks to provide competitive broadband services.
Clearly this is only going to make Oftel's job more difficult, although admittedly BT has yet to adequately explain why the cuts haven't been passed on to its Datastream products. More @ The Register.
