Fibre Optic Broadband Networks should be Open For ISPs

A broadband internet market expert based in the United Kingdom has opined that fibre optic next generation cable broadband internet services in the country should be opened to a range of internet service providers.

According to the broadband supplier, Fibrecity’s director for development, Adrian Crook’s claims, an open approach in the rollout of the next generation fibre optic broadband service in the United Kingdom, would make sure that consumers had access to an array of products.

Crook had also claimed in an interview thrown to t5he broadband review website that open broadband internet networks, similar to those that have been introduced by Fibrecity across the United Kingdom were potent enough to reinvent the industry.

Crook added thata standard open interface was crucial as Fibrecity was developing a fibre optic broadand network, which would be more a technology platform that allowed multiple broadband providers to deliver their services through the singly fibre optic broadband connection, to every household

Crook concluded saying that the consumers tend to deal directly with the broadband provider when a service was bought, as Fibrecity was providing just the connection. It is also interesting that the comments of Crook has come after Lord Mandelson, the business secretary had announced the launch of a broadband fund to ensure the availability of next generation broadband services to 90 per cent of the country by 2017.
