In my editorial for CMA ‘Fibre more than Faster‘ I make the point that Open Access FTTH utilities can deliver a wide range of benefits – not least of which is locally relevant Service innovation.

Local communities, albeit more in some counties than others, are discovering that, by separating the management of the common Access utility from the competitive Services that it can deliver, the local relevance (and take-up) of real broadband exceeds all former expectations.

Local communities can be empowered to drive their local economy and respond to societal needs.

Why wait for last-generation incumbent Telco’s to imagine what consumers and businesses might need when the best way to predict the future is to invent it.
