KC ( Karoo ), part of the KCOM Group PLC (Kingston Communications) with a history that stretches back over a hundred years to 1904, is today an incumbent broadband and phone communications provider for consumers and businesses in the Hull and East Yorkshire (UK) area. The KCOM umbrella also includes several other firms, such as UK ISP Eclipse Internet .

The provider is certainly no stranger to controversy and often receives criticism from rivals and customers alike, due in no small part to its dominant position of Significant Market Power (SMP) in Hull and the related lack of competition. For its part, KC has spent millions on improving the regions infrastructure and recently become quite outspoken on the many issues of UK broadband policy.

ISPreview.co.uk wanted to know more about how KC approached the thorny issue of competition in Hull, it's future fibre optic FTTH broadband goals and its views on the current governments approach to broadband. To that end we have been able to pluck KC's Director of Consumer Affairs, Nick Thompson, from his busy schedule in order to answer a few choice questions about this year's main events.
