Oftel ups the cost of wholesale access to the local loop

Oftel has altered the proposed charges for wholesale access to BT's local loop.

Despite claims that the previous pricing proposals were an "absolute ceiling", the UK telecoms regulator said today that annual rental for a loop would be £118 rather than the £107 BT itself had suggested would be sufficient to cover costs. However, the connection charge has been dropped from £145 to £95.

The change in pricing was explained by an Oftel spokesman as "a modest increase in annual rental for a significant drop in connection charge that would cover a greater range of BT's costs".

The consultation period on these charges will end in December after which a final ruling will be made and will take effect in the New Year.
