Ofcom has approved Openreach's proposed price increases for copper line rental services, permitting higher wholesale costs for providers relying on legacy copper infrastructure in the UK.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Telecom & Connectivity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must factor in higher wholesale costs from Openreach on copper lines when planning UK fixed network pricing or product strategy. This regulatory change tightens margin pressure on services relying on ageing copper infrastructure.
