True Competition?
In some way’s this will come back and bite the howling mob.
If I remember correctly as BT is the ‘Monopoly’ it has to sell to resellers lines cheaper than it charges end users so the reseller can undercut them (BT) and make a profit.
So if Openreach is spun off, BT will be able to sell its own product for as little as it wants as it technically no longer owns the lines and will be far more able to suck a loss for a few years as it undercut's everyone else
As an aside, when is Virgin going to open up its cable network for other people to provide content over or do Ofcom have to get involved there too?
