Altnet providers, such as WarwickNet, are already using PIA to connect customers on much shorter timescales than previously.</p><p> </p><p>In the consultation, Ofcom outlined how the planning and deployment of fibre infrastructure using PIA should be improved. Openreach is already providing telecoms providers with better network information, with its PIA Digital Mapping Tool, and streamlining operational processes.</p><p> </p><p>Ofcom also proposed capping Openreach’s rental charges for PIA access and redistributing the costs of changes to the network across all users. These proposals would make it cheaper for other telecoms providers to deploy fibre using Openreach’s duct and pole infrastructure.</p><p> </p><p>Ofcom will set out more detail on these proposals later in the summer.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 18/07/2017 10:08:28 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
