Easynet Expands LLU Broadband
Posted: 17th Sep, 2003 By: MarkJ
UK ISP Easynet has announced further plans to offer services through unbundled local exchanges (LLU). Interestingly it'll work in a similar way to BTs current 'demand based' ADSL rollout:
The scheme - called Easynet Exchange Enable (E3) - is designed to cash-in on the £1 billion of public sector money due to be spent over the next three years to bring broadband to schools, libraries, GP surgeries etc.
In many ways, E3 is similar to BT's pre-registration system, which sets demand levels for exchanges not currently converted to ADSL. BT agrees to upgrade exchanges to ADSL once sufficient demand has been generated.
However, Easynet insists that E3 is different. Crucially, it claims, the trigger levels for exchanges are lower because it is based on confirmed demand from public sector organisations and local businesses, making it easier for communities to get broadband.
Suddenly LLU based broadband is looking to provide more than token competition for BT. More @ The Register.
