QuoteRules covering broadband firms could soon be scrapped in some UK regions.
The European Commission has given permission for the regulations to lapse following a review of competition among broadband wholesalers in the UK.
The review revealed that in 64% of UK markets competition was fierce enough to prevent any broadband wholesaler winning a dominant position.

What if anything could this mean for the broadband user?
I'm not sure it will have a big impact now, Noreen. Any unbundling that was going to happen probably has, for the rest of us, we buy a BT service from the supplier of our choice - that supplier adds value to the basic BT service, and the competition between ISPs will continue.
It won't matter any way. When the revolution comes we will leave the EU and expel all foreigners. >:D >:D >:D >:D
;D
