The August 20 price list from Openreach and the September 20 offerings from the major scale retailers have been analysed. This has identifed a small product set consumed by the scale retailers and, hence, a likely minimum product set that would be required on a Wholesale Platform that would satisfy the needs of the scale retail ISPs.
The details are in the spreadsheet below. Here's a summary table:

The SWSIG Zoom Call to discuss progress on the Wholesale Platform Feasibility Study and the responses made by the OTA2 Opt
This is a report on the SWSIG Zoom call on 21 May 20. It covers progress to date and further actions on the Wholesale Platform Feasibility Study and GPL Switching process.
A major change to the broadband industry affecting all network operators and service providers is underway and INCA Members need to take action to adapt and benefit. INCA has been working with Ofcom, OTA and other industry organisations on behalf of the independent sector. Now is your chance to get involved and get your views represented.
The era of GPL Switching and Wholesale is fast approaching. The work to complete Ofcom’s consultation on GPL Switching will be completed before the end of this month and implemented by the end of the year. Consumer messaging on All-IP Migration launches in a few weeks and two pilots are already in operation. INCA is heavily involved in cross-industry groups in OTA2 and BSG. INCA’s own Switching, Wholesale and IP Migration Special Interest Group – SWSIG – has a work program on standardisation and technical aspects and the next meeting is on Wed 26 February 2pm – 4.30pm.
A group of INCA members met at the offices of Community Fibre on 14 Jan 20. This followed on from the Working Group at the AGM. to discuss the latest position on the Gaining Provider Led Switching process, co-ordinated by the OTA, plus moves towards supporting wholesale aggregation amongst Wave 2 altnets. Both are knotty issues. Ofcom sent out a written 'rap on the knuckles' to members of the GPL Switching industry group for not reaching agreement on just one process.
Action plan for INCA Member input on switching. Our industry needs to find a consensus on the new GPL switching process so it can be implemented by the end of the year. That is a very short time in which to build new systems and processes, implement and train your teams.
A major change to the broadband industry affecting all network operators is coming and coming fast.
