The Issues- and OpportunitiesThe Issues- What INCA Members want
• Transparency - over BT's costs and deployment plans
• Competition - where alternative providers and communities are willing to invest in fibre and high speed wireless networks, BT should not be allowed to roll over them with state subsidy
• Open Access - alternative providers should have full, unfettered access to all of BT's publicly funded infrastructure, thus promoting competition and choice
• New Investment Models - to promote investment, innovation and better value for money for the additional £250m of funding the government is committing to rural broadband.
The Opportunities- How we are Engaging
• ‘Not letting go’ of the PAC statements; providing support for local authorities deciding to publish
• Value for Money analysis tools and support package for local authorities (BDUK?) based on NAO
• Common forums (like this); facilitating collaboration to demonstrate credible competition
• Providing evidence from elsewhere on the value of open infrastructure & re-use; new revision of the EU Guide
• Educating BDUK on alternative funding approaches and Co-Investment Models
• Facilitating discussions with investors
• Engaging BDUK on Superfast Extension approach
