BT: LLU reaches 1 million mark

BT Openreach has announced that the UK has achieved that the number of
unbundled lines has reached the one million mark. This represents a 420 per
cent increase in the number of unbundled lines since the creation of
Openreach in January 2006.

On average, Openreach is currently fulfilling almost 30,000 LLU orders per
week, with more than twenty operators providing unbundled services from more
than 1,000 local exchanges across the UK.

Steve Robertson, CEO, Openreach said, "This is a fantastic achievement for
the whole of industry and demonstrates that the UK has one of the most
competitive broadband markets in the world. This progress has been
underpinned by price reductions and the introduction of new product and
systems capability to make it simpler for operators to migrate their end
customers onto unbundled services. Openreach is committed to making sure
that this positive trend continues."

16 weeks to go until BT Wholesale are allowed to cut IPStream prices
then!

About time too although I suspect the bunch of ex-cable execs at Ofcom
will find reasons why it is unacceptable for this to happen. Their
pension funds/share options at last place of employment for example
