Ofcom pushes for extensive investment in fibre networks

Telecoms regulator Ofcom is looking for feasible and practical ways of replacing the existing copper networks. In fact, fibre optic cables could be laid through the sewer ducts in order to speed up the rollout of super-fast broadband to homes as well as businesses throughout the UK.

The speed offered by fibre optic cable is up to 100Mb. It is much faster than the speeds of existing copper networks, and is also able to handle multiple high-definition video streams as well as near-instant music downloads. Fibre networks are currently being fitted at three estates in the UK.

Ofcom feels that the new regulatory proposals will promote extensive investment in fibre networks. It intends to do this by ensuring competition between various service providers.

Ofcom also said that the regulations will ensure security measures for homes in the form of continuous battery back-up that will guarantee access to emergency calls in case of a power failure. Once the measures get implemented, connectivity will be greatly enhanced.
