It does not represent a finalised definition/specification of the products or form an offer capable of acceptance. British Telecommunications plc 2009

3 In the beginning Ofcom launched its Telecommunications Strategic Review (TSR) Dec 2003 A defining moment for the industry and the beginning of Openreach Phase 1 consultation published six months later BT offered and Ofcom accepted a set of undertakings Sept 2005 The formal creation of the new organisation 11 January 2006 We install, service, support and maintain the wiring, fibres and connections which link tens of millions of homes and businesses in Britain to their Communications Providers' networks. This first mile of the national access network is one of the UK s most important assets. We remain part of BT, but we are run as a separate division with separate: Headquarters, Board, Identity and Brand, Financial reporting, and independent commercial operating principles

4 Ensuring true open access prospers A competition-ready network 450 CP customers The Equivalence Management Platform (EMP) An industry-grade platform for competition Has been key in enabling competition and investment in broadband in the UK Ensures fairness and lowers barriers to entry Enables provision of not just networks, but services Maximum real-time visibility of the network for all this means superior service for end users

5 A reminder of Openreach s responsibility Home or office Primary Cross Connection Point (green cabinet) Telephone exchange Socket Distribution point Main distribution frame The access network Over 30,000 employees, based all over the UK, working for the entire communications industry

9 Potential coverage after FTTC is deployed Locations by VDSL2 modelled downstream speed > 2Mb/s and <15Mb/s, nonassured VDSL2 > 15Mb/s assured VDSL2 Where a location has multiple lines individual line performance may vary. Picture shows best line performance

10 Each solution is applicable in different situations and the costs of each are quite very different FTTC FTTP Available when? Not before summer 2010 Not before spring 2011 Reach ~2km from the cabinet Distance independent Headline speed Up to 40 Mb/s 100 Mb/s Indicative funding required Openreach would more than match this Depends on 20,000 32,000 Head end enablement at Sittingbourne 20% take up Spare fibre being available to serve these areas Subject to further survey and detailed planning activity For FTTP, availability of local duct space all the way to the home End user pricing is dependent on CPs retail offering and of course, all Openreach solutions provide access to your choice of the UK s broadband service providers

11 Summary and recommendation Having looked at your current network situation, it is likely that fibre solutions will be cost effective for Iwade once the head end equipment has been deployed in Sittingbourne. We would look to deliver an FTTC or FTTP technology depending on the funding and existing network resources available. Draft timeline of activity (6 months later for FTTP) December-January Next phase of fibre exchanges announced April-May 2010 Detailed planning process commences for fibre options June-July 2010 Registration and signup process commences via communications providers August-September 2010 Pending sufficient committed sign up and availability of cost effective hand over, commissioning and final build can commence
