Following FCS’ recent letter regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the communications industry, we have been offered a meeting with Ofcom, which will take place next week – on Wednesday 22nd April.
At that session FCS will be discussing the following topics:
- The measures proposed by Openreach to support its CP customers and end users – and whether there are further measures that should be taken
- How Ofcom plan to encourage the adoption of the Openreach proposals through the Supply chain.
- Whether Ofcom is considering any modifications to current regulation relating to communications provider obligations.
FCS is currently seeking feedback from members on any other issues they would like us to raise with Ofcom.
Please let FCS know if you have any questions regarding COVID 19
