Ian Livingston's full statement. ..
"We told Ofcom last year we're willing to provide open access to our ducts and poles and we are working with them on how to achieve it. Other companies already have access to our exchanges so we're relaxed about providing them with another form of access as well.
Although it's unlikely to be the silver bullet to get fibre to every home, open access to all ducts, not just ours, might help BT and others extend coverage and so we would like to see a future government support such a move
Duct access has been adopted in other countries but normally as the only way for companies to access an incumbent's network. There are plenty of existing ways in which companies can access BT's network and so its impact may be less dramatic in the UK. We will only know for sure once they are opened. BT is taking a considerable degree of commercial risk by rolling out fibre and it will be interesting to see if others are willing to join us."
Looking forward to the next couple of weeks and bringing over my mac pro for 1080i HD streams via bitgravity - i just wish bitgravity had a pay as you go client for testing. Although saying that other options exist using stickam and the independent control and the watershed system that ustream have. i bet one of them will have capacity for HD streaming sooner than later.
