The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment her Department has made of the effectiveness of the French model for broadband infrastructure pricing.
Answered by Kanishka Narayan
The Department has not made any assessment of the effectiveness of the French model for broadband infrastructure pricing.
As the independent regulator for telecommunications, Ofcom is responsible for making regulatory decisions in the fixed telecoms sector, including on the Physical Infrastructure Access (PIA) product. We expect the regulator to assess other countries’ regulatory regime as necessary to inform its thinking.
