.... but you're talking about a situation that doesn't happen though, or at least I've never come across it.
A developer would not just lay ducts, at cost to them, for the fun of it. Companies are NEVER altruistic, they exist to make money
Talking about Openreach is relevant.
There is no USO upon Openreach to lay ducting and install cables for a broadband service. The USO only applies to a telephone service which then allows "functional internet access". But this "access" is not legally binding and besides, is extremely out of date as the internet has expanded massively in capabilities and speeds since the regulations were made.
The only way to alleviate the problem as highlighted in the first post, is to have a USO upon Openreach to lay ducts for broadband cables and allow service providers access to these ducts, in the same way that broadband companies have access to exchanges.

Thoughts and opinions?

A law needs to be passed to make this happen. As said in the articles, gas, electricity, water needs to be put in anyway, so laying ducting for telecoms should be a breeze on new build estates.
