Ofcom sees no need for overhaul in next phase of fiber rollout despite BT domination - theregister.com

Ofcom maintains current regulatory approach for next phase of fiber rollout despite BT's market dominance Ofcom has decided against implementing major regulatory changes in the next phase of fiber infrastructure rollout, despite concerns about BT's dominant position in the market. The UK regulator determined that existing frameworks are sufficient to manage competition and ensure fair access to fiber networks. This decision comes as the industry continues its broadband expansion efforts. BT's significant market share in fiber deployment has raised questions about competitive fairness, but Ofcom believes current oversight mechanisms adequately address these concerns without requiring substantial regulatory overhaul.
