Ofcom has proposed new caps to the charges that BT can bring for the use of its telecoms infrastructure by other communication providers.

The propose cap would only allow for a reduction of between 0-6.5 percent for traditional interface technology and 8-16 percent for newer telecom lines.

These new caps would see the expected price of customer communication charges fall, with companies including Vodafone, O2 and Plusnet all currently using BT infrastructure.
