Of course, one immediately wonders if BT jumped into this decision, or instead they were pushed? Anyway - life's too short, and people will hope that the increased competition will drive prices down. As you know, all the political parties to varying contents are putting considerable emphasis on improved broadband = better social mobility and equality, but that's an entirely different discussion; the ethic of information technology.
Economics alone dictate that use of a common single cable duct in streets is a sensible solution without regard to whose cables run in it.
Not just BT ducts, but also those of cable companies and any other such duct owners should be open to any authorised cable layers.
Ofcom, in consultation with duct owners, should decree a pricing system, probably based on duct/cable miles and a token charge per connected customer. All Telcos would then be working on a level playing field.
It would doubtless evolve into a "duct company" jointly owned by the user companies which would inherit all existing cable ducts. It would certainly speed up the spread of cable services and the expansion of very high speed broadband.
But as some have already stated it has to apply to all not just a select few and this will involve them having to upgrading their own backbone systems in the given area, as so not to impeded the current standard of service already running.
The second worry will be to prevent the over saturation use of existing cabs/nodes/exchanges etc, If done correctly then all will be well, if done badly then it becomes a nightmare for us all.
This needs to be careful planned before jumping in feet first.
