Nexfibre Calls for Changes to Protect UK Fibre Broadband Market Network builder nexfibre, which is being supported by UK ISP Virgin Media (O2), has today warned that the progress on rolling out gigabit full fibre (FTTP) broadband networks across the UK remains “fragile” and it wants Ofcom to take “decisive action” to prevent the “mistakes of the past” (i.e. Openreach domination) from being “repeated“. So far Nexfibre has covered over 1 million premises across the UK with their new network and they’re currently in the process of investing another £1bn during 2024, which should enable them to cover an additional 1 million premises. The project reflects a £4.5bn joint venture between Telefónica, Liberty Global and InfraVia Capital Partners, which was setup in 2022 (here) and shares some of the same parentage with Virgin Media: https://lnkd.in/eUVGbr5E #ispreview #Nexfibre #fibre #broadband #FTTP #gigabit #telecoms

That’s the subject of new guidance from Ofcom, to help customers work out what they are really getting when they sign up for a new connectivity service. They found that some providers were using the term ‘fibre’ to talk about products like Fibre To The Cabinet (FTTC), where the fibre only reaches as far as the local street. And that can mean worse uploads, downloads and reliability. Not what you need when you’re running a business. 🤯 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝘆, 𝗢𝗳𝗰𝗼𝗺’𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝟰𝟲% 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹-𝗳𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲! 🛜 To cut through the confusion, Ofcom’s new guidance says providers should use short unambiguous terms like ‘cable’, ‘copper’ or ‘full-fibre’. And ‘fibre’ shouldn’t be used on its own – to make it clearer what is FULL fibre, and what is PART fibre (e.g. fibre to the cabinet). 😁But fear not!

FIBRE FRIDAYS The UK telecoms regulator, Ofcom, announced significant improvements to their spectrum sharing framework. These changes aim to boost the availability of spectrum, enhancing the performance and business models for 4G, 5G, wireless broadband, and mobile services. First introduced in 2019, the spectrum sharing framework has facilitated the creation of numerous smaller mobile and fixed wireless broadband networks, providing local coverage for industrial, farming, and residential connectivity. Over 1,500 licences have been issued, with growing interest worldwide. Key Enhancements in Ofcom’s Spectrum Sharing Framework for 2024: Improving Spectrum Supply: - Reducing separation distances between users in the 3.8-4.2 GHz band. - Updating coordination with UK Broadband and new Building Entry Loss assumptions to enhance spectrum access. - Allowing users to include antenna details in the coordination process to support more sharing and facilitate local agreements. Liberalising Sharing Rules: - Increasing the maximum power limit for the ‘Low Power’ product in the 3.8-4.2 GHz band by 3 dB for wider coverage and easier deployment. - Removing the requirement to maintain records for mobile terminals connected to Low Power indoor base stations in the 3.8-4.2 GHz band, enabling more ‘neutral host’ solutions. - Making more spectrum available by adding the 2320-2340 MHz band for - Low Power indoor use, following provisional agreements with the Ministry of Defence to protect its uses. Increasing Responsiveness and Predictability: - Introducing a ‘premises sterilisation test’ to streamline decisions for exception requests in the 3.8-4.2 GHz and 1800 MHz bands. - Publishing new spectrum availability maps to assist users in making informed applications. - Working with a spectrum management system supplier to support online applications for Shared Access licences later this year. Ofcom aims to implement the majority of these changes by Q4 2024. Additionally, they are consulting on further proposals to build on this new coordination and sharing approach, offering even more flexibility and new opportunities in the future. #Telecommunications #4G #5G #Telecom #Telco #WirelessBroadband
