The traditional market
If the market won’t change, how is the UK to compete?
• “Every shop’s a patisserie”– Most ISP’s resell BT Wholesale offerings– Marginal investment– Little scope for technical innovation
• Those that do invest, do so in the same places
– Typically along with cable & WiMAX operators
– Expectations of market share must be small
• Most differentiate on price alone– Ever eroding margins– Ever shrinking funds to invest in the future

– Backbone connectivity (e.g. Geo)
– Managed platforms (e.g. C&W)
Together it forms a Joint Operating Network
