BT fibre broadband pilot: charges for ISPs revealed

London fibre to the home pilot could involve 40,000 homes

NEWS

BT Openreach has released details of the fees it plans to charge other ISPs for its fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) pilot in London.

Access to its Generic Ethernet Access Fibre to The Premises product will cost ISPs between £175 and £255 per annum for each customer line.

The pilot at Highams Park in London, BT's first FTTH deployment in an existing residential area with an installed copper-based telecoms infrastructure, could involve up to 40,000 households.

ZDNet UK has more details of the BT FTTH trial.

    What's the problem.

    Surely no-one is expecting BT to do this for nothing.

    It's called 'Return on Investment'.....

    I don't see Virgin Media doing much large scale infrastructure investment/spending........perhaps that is because it costs bucket loads of money.
