Ofcom blocks Openreach’s “Incremental New to OR” offer: up to £9.50/month per full fibre customer above an ISP’s normal sign-up rate, aimed at the connections altnets are winning instead. Right call. It shouldn’t have been proposed at all. Mutualise Openreach: If OR were a mutual owned by its ISP customers, BT included, this idea doesn’t survive its first meeting. The discount would be their own money, spent making their other suppliers less viable. https://www.ofcom.org.uk/phones-and-broadband/telecoms-infrastructure/ofcom-proposes-to-block-new-openreach-commercial-offer-to-protect-fair-competition-and-keep-long-term-prices-low
