BT Put Pressure on Ofcom for Access to Virgin's Network

BT has demanded that Virgin Media opens its network of underground pipes to rivals. The giant telecoms group wants to use Virgin’s network in its plans to upgrade its infrastructure known as 21CN and will put pressure on Ofcom to allow it access if needs be.

BT intends to connect five million people to its superfast broadband network by spring next year. BT is investing £1.5 billion in the first phase of the upgrade to the country’s telecoms infrastructure, under which ten million homes will be connected to superfast broadband services by 2012.

Neil Berkett, Virgin Media’s chief executive, has stated that Virgin have spent billions of pounds investing in its network and reiterated  that Ofcom has previously said that there is no mandate for Virgin to open its ducts. Virgin are hoping to test a 100Mpbs service by the end of the year.
