Abstract
The UK is one of the most competitive broadband markets in the world. However,
it is one of the few advanced European markets that has yet to announce a
major FTTx initiative. The incumbent operator, BT, and the national government
are therefore coming under increasing pressure from a variety of stakeholders
to rectify this situation.
