Re: Sky to be given access to VM's Broadband network

Sky's LLU network is using BT's network. They can't offer access to BT's network. The part of the network they do own, core fibre, is both used by them and other companies.

The issue is now more one of whether or not VM should be required to allow access to their ducts and physical infrastructure. They aren't going to have much choice in the not too distant future.

BT are required to offer the fibre service on an equivalency of access basis.

They have no investment in BT and its regulation is nothing to do with any government ownership.
