OTA releases its update for last month
According to the OTA (Office of the Telecommunications Adjudicator) update for the last month, the broadband unbundled lines and the WLR lines went up to nearly 3 million (2.997 m, to say precisely) and 4.33 millions respectively. It is also estimated to be 5.81 million telephone connections which use CPS.
The report says there was a rise in migration levels during the month with the floods causing some new clear-up activity, however, the over-all service quality had been consistent despite the problems caused by the floods.
What is to be noted is the rate of failure after repair or maintenance has been relatively high and the repairing work did seem to be far away from the targets.
The areas like SMPF, MRF and WLR lines (repair) are reported to have 20-30 percent failure rate while 20 percent of failure was reported to have affected MPF Provisioning.
The report also says its Executive will keenly watch the progress of ‘Integrated Plan’, a 12 month project of Openreach which is expected to take telecom services into a new dimension. OTA has reiterated its intention to focus on various areas like:
EMP Release Plans & Scope (LLU/WLR)
EMP performance and CP adoption (LLU/WLR)
Fit for Purpose Migrations processes & CP adoption;
Plans to industrialise MPF processes
BAU performance measurement, improvement and publication.
Facilitation of the Implementation of a new SLA/SLG regime once the way forward is defined
