OFCOM consultation to restrict OR price cuts for Gfast

OFCOM have just issued a new consultation on "Promoting network competition in superfast and ultrafast broadband"

This is to restrict OR's ability to target reductions in Gfast prices while City Fibre and others rollout FTTP networks. Any reduced prices would have to be on a national basis to prevent competition to the new FTTP networks on an unfair basis.

Not quite what OR's competitors seemed to want, which was a price floor for OR's Gfast services,

Regulation would not apply to OR's FTTP (100Mb+) services as these would not cover a big enough area that was overlapped by new entrants FTTP build.
