House of Lords warns against using one broadband provider

The House of Lords Communications Committee has warned against the practice of using one supplier in rolling out national UK coverage.

The employment of one supplier, in this case BT’s fibre optic service, would hinder a competitive marketplace.

The committee commented: “The exclusive ability of one provider to build a final fibre link is actually a categorical departure from the idea of an open access fibre optic hub in which anyone is permitted to build a link.”
