Charge control review for LLU and WLR services

Consultation published 31|03|2011

Update 14 December 2011

Single vs Double Jumpering - more details on the relative costs have been requested and provided to certain stakeholders. This is available to others on request for the duration of the consultation period (i.e. until 23 December 2011)

Update 23 November 2011

Publication of Further consultation - please see link for further consultation - http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/consultations/llu-wlr-further-consultation/

Update 25 October 2011

This note is to inform stakeholders of our decision in light of responses to our original consultation to re-consult on certain issues in relation to our Charge Control Review for LLU and WLR before the end of 2011. This means that we now expect to publish our statement in the first quarter of 2012, with the charge controls being implemented before 31 March 2012.

Also as modelling assumptions used in establishing the LLU and WLR charge controls inform the modelling for ISDN30, this delay to the LLU and WLR charge controls statement will delay the publication of the ISDN30 statement to the first quarter of 2012.

Updates on 18 May 2011 - see ‘correction: Charge Control Review for LLU and WLR services ' and  ‘corrections made in consultation ', in annexes below

Updates on 18 April 2011 - Please note that the following document contains amendments to Figures 4.6, 4.7, 4.8. 4.9, 5.1, 5.2, 7.1, 7.3, 7.15, 7.23, A8.11, A9.2, paragraphs 4.105, 4.107, and questions 4.10 and 4.11 correcting errors in the original version published on 31 March 2011.
