UPDATE Ofcom to Deregulate More of the UK Wholesale Broadband Market - ISPreview UK: "The change in definition means that BT is still considered to have Significant Market Power (SMP), albeit only in around 2% of UK premises where their Openreach network has no competition or competition from only one other primary network operator (Market A).
Ofcom states that “the level of investment required by a third party to replicate BT’s broadband access network in Market A is a significant barrier to entry” and “an obligation requiring BT to provide WBA network access to third parties on reasonable request is necessary in our view to protect effective competition in retail broadband services” (limited to certain services – see below).
