Telecommunications Strategic Review

• LLU (Local Loop Unbundling)
• Local Network is owned by BT Wholesale
• LLU helps to open up competition and ease of use
• WLR (Wholesale Line Rental)
• Gives service providers rented access to the
  Openreach Access Network
• Broadband Pricing

Openreachs Creation
Openreach was created as a result of the TSR.
Ofcom found that preferential treatment was
being given to BT Retail customers for
installation compared to other operators. This is
because BT owned the engineers responsible for
carrying out the work. Ofcom gained this
feedback from not only service providers but
customers themselves. The result is that
Openreach now exists and must deliver an
equivalent service to end users regardless of the
service provider.

A Changing WorldThe Business Context

• You probably know them, those people who go to
  the same office, every day, every single day, for
  40 years, and bless them, theyve done a great
  job. They have built something that is called the
  corporate world

But the corporate world is changing, its
changing dramatically. Its changing because
different people come to the office. Its
changing because some people do not go to the
office anymore, but they work from home, and even
some people work at home. They together form a
community a very different community that is
corporate life in 2007. How will corporate life
be 10 years from now? Probably substantially
different.
