Just watched the TV report of this. A lot of criticism re the separation not being truly separate!
BT chief executive Gavin Patterson said the deal, reached after two years of negotiations with Ofcom, meant Openreach would have its own board and make its own investment decisions. However, he admitted that BT would set the overall budget.
With that in mind, it 'appears' that Openreach could still favour BT cutomers?
