Ofcom publishes review of broadcasting transmission market

Ofcom has published a public consultation on its proposals for the UK’s broadcasting transmission services market, which would see the market essentially divided between ntl and Crown Castle, but with obligations attached.
Given the proposed positions of dominance held by Crown Castle and ntl, Ofcom is proposing that both companies are required to: provide network access to their respective masts and sites and managed transmission services on reasonable request; avoid discrimination in providing network access and managed transmission services; provide network access to their respective masts and sites and managed transmission services on cost-orientated terms; and publish a Reference Offer setting out the terms on which access to the mast and sites will be made available.
The closing date for responses to the broadcasting transmission services consultation is December 22, 2004.
