	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what assessment he has made of the potential benefits of the introduction of unbundled fibre to the cabinet and sub-loop bundling of residential broadband provision.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2014 answer text <p>I favour competition at all levels of the telecoms system, where it is effective and sustainable. Sub-loop unbundling (SLU), where a competing provider takes their fibre to BT's street cabinets and connects to BT's copper lines to consumers' premises, is a standard product controlled by Ofcom. At present there appears to be limited demand from communications providers for SLU. There may be opportunities to increase the likelihood of future competition in fibre-to-the-cabinet by designing network upgrades to make such access easier at little or no additional cost at the time of deployment, but lower entry barriers subsequently. Ofcom is keeping the matter under review.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 13/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2014 answer text <p>On 27 January this year, Ofcom published a consultation on an update on the impact of fibre roll-out and the proposed charge control review of the wholesale broadband access (WBA) markets, following-on from its July-September 2013 consultation on the WBA market. In this context, services provided via copper, cable and fibre access networks are considered to be within the same market. The update consultation closed on 10 March.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 13/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
