State-of-the-Art Technology Will Revolutionize UK’s Internet Market
With regulatory requirements on the rise, the UK looks to liberalize and simplify the national internet market
The U.K. government-approved regulatory and competition authority for the broadcasting, telecommunications, and postal industries (OFCOM) recently ruled that people should be able to switch telecom providers easily in order to take advantage of the range of services available. The regulator stresses that “easier switching allows people to shop around with confidence to find the best price and service for their needs. Difficulties in the switching process can put people off moving providers. Effective switching is also important to support competitive investment in, and take-up of, faster and more reliable broadband.”
Meanwhile, the U.K.’s Independent Networks Cooperative Association (INCA), which aims to support the development of the competitive digital infrastructure sector through collaborative activities, believes the U.K. urgently needs a world-class, 21st century digital infrastructure to support a competitive economy, one that will benefit both citizens and businesses.
