Tiscali ISP Attacks BTs ADSL Price Cuts

Posted: 03rd Apr, 2003 By: MarkJ
UK ISP Tiscali has accused BT of anti-competitive behaviour following this morning’s broadband ADSL price cut announcement:

The ISP claims that the cuts discriminate against operators with rival networks including those involved in opening up the local loop.

Tiscali UK is currently seeking legal advice and intends to write to telecoms regulator Oftel and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to complain about the move.

It argues that today's price cuts only apply to BT's wholesale IPStream product, which provides an end-to-end ADSL service solely using BT's network. The cuts do not apply to DataStream products, which use competing national networks from alternative, rival carriers.


Tiscali does have a point and several other UK ISPs, Freeserve, AOL and fairADSL echoed the concerns. It remains to be seen whether or not BT will choose to comment further on this issue in the coming days / weeks. More @ The Register.
