Openreach, the UK’s largest broadband network operator, has admitted that it has no idea where alternative network providers (altnets) are operating, as the rules governing the industry are being ignored.
According to a report by Light Reading, Openreach has been unable to keep track of the whereabouts of altnets, which are small, independent operators that are building their own fibre networks to compete with the big telcos.
In an interview with Light Reading, an Openreach spokesperson said that the company is ‘working closely with altnets’ to ensure that they are building their networks in a way that is compatible with Openreach’s own infrastructure.
However, the report suggests that this is not the case, and that altnets are being forced to build their networks in isolation, without any coordination with Openreach.
‘We are working closely with altnets to ensure that they are building their networks in a way that is compatible with Openreach’s own infrastructure,’ said the spokesperson.
The lack of coordination between Openreach and altnets is causing problems for both parties, with altnets struggling to access Openreach’s infrastructure and Openreach struggling to keep track of the whereabouts of altnets.
According to the report, the lack of coordination is also causing delays and increased costs for altnets, who are having to build their networks from scratch without any help from Openreach.
‘We are working closely with altnets to ensure that they are building their networks in a way that is compatible with Openreach’s own infrastructure,’ said the spokesperson.
The report suggests that the lack of coordination between Openreach and altnets is a major obstacle to the development of the UK’s fibre network, and that it is preventing the country from achieving its goal of having a fibre-optic connection in every home by 2025.
‘We are working closely with altnets to ensure that they are building their networks in a way that is compatible with Openreach’s own infrastructure,’ said the spokesperson.
The lack of coordination between Openreach and altnets is also causing problems for consumers, who are having to wait longer for fibre connections to be installed.
