The Vodafone chief has accused BT of trying to turn Britain’s telecoms sector back into a monopoly by forcing broadband on to its old network and giving consumers speeds that are slower than in southern Europe.
Vittorio Colao called for BT’s infrastructure division, Openreach, which operates the cable network, to be spun off into a separate company so UK consumers could get access to modern, fast fibre connections.
He said splitting off Openreach would stave off the biggest risk facing the industry in the UK and Europe – “remonopolisation” – which could turn back 30 years of increased competition and better service.
BT responded that Colao’s comments were “highly misleading” and that the UK was one of the world’s most competitive telecoms markets.
