Book excerpt: On 22 May 2009 the Office of Communications (Ofcom) published a statement concerning local loop unbundling entitled 'A new pricing framework for Openreach'. The statement contained decisions to impose charge controls on British Telecommunications (BT) in relation to various services supplied by BT in the market for wholesale local access services in the UK (excluding Hull). The services in question are all rental services meaning that a communications provider acquires the right to provide voice and broadband internet services to customers. Appeals were brought by the Carphone Warehouse Group plc against the decision in the statement before the Competition Appeal Tribunal. British Sky Broadcasting (Sky) and BT both intervened. This report explains the determinations made in the appeal.
