Regulator Publishes Review of Broadband Market in the UK

Pending parliamentary approval, a new regulatory framework for electronic communications networks in the UK will go into effect on 25-July-2003. The new policies are based on five EU Communications directives and are designed to harmonize regulations across Europe, reduce barriers to entry, and stimulate market competition. In advance of the new framework, Oftel, the official telecoms regulator for the UK, published a 151-page review of current market conditions. The report is available online.
