 * INCA looks forward to a productive Labour Government
   
   
   INCA congratulates Sir Keir Starmer and Labour for their tremendous win and
   looks forward to a productive and successful relationship with the new
   Government, building on the solid foundations established in recent months
   through our work with the then shadow front bench team.

 * INCA Launches a Manifesto for the 2024 Election
   
   With the 2024 General Election campaign in full swing, INCA has published a
   manifesto for the full fibre broadband sector. Aimed at candidates, the
   concise manifesto seeks to inform readers about the significant achievements
   of the Altnet sector, and sets out just five key policy asks,
   
   These five points – taken together – will enable the next Government to
   ensure that the benefits that Altnets have brought to the fixed telecoms
   market will be sustained over the long term:

 * The State of the Altnets in 2024
   
   INCA has launched it's annual 'State of the Altnets' report for 2024 today at
   the Connected North conference in Manchester. With the full title 'Metrics
   for the UK Independent Network Sector' the report, produced in partnership
   with Point Topic, sets out a series of key figures which illustrate the
   continuing growth and successes of the sector, alongside some of the central
   concerns occupying the minds of Altnet leaders over the last year.

 * Altnets come together to share infrastructure and boost fibre roll-outs where
   PIA is unavailable
   
   Leading UK Altnets are taking action to ensure that the rollout of full fibre
   is not held back by inconsistencies in the availability of Openreach physical
   infrastructure. 
   
   Many locations across the UK are being removed from Altnet and Openreach
   plans because Physical Infrastructure Access (PIA) is not available or is
   unusable. Altnets are frequently having to deploy new infrastructure which
   has caused concern amongst some local communities and is increasing the cost
   and reducing the pace of fibre rollouts. 
   
   A special interest group set up by INCA will encourage Altnets and others to
   share infrastructure to reduce the amount of street works and street
   furniture required to support the UK’s new full fibre networks.

 * Helm Analysis Supports INCA Policy Asks
   
   Leading economics academic Professor Dieter Helm suggests, in his speech to
   delegates at the INCA Conference, that with the next Ofcom review of the
   Wholesale Fixed Telecoms Market (WFTMR) on the horizon, the stakes are very
   high not just for the Altnet sector, but for the whole UK economy, and the
   current "soggy compromise" is not up to the required job of putting the
   industry on a stable long term path.
   
   Here is the recording of the talk delivered to INCA Conference 2023 by
   Professor Dieter Helm, Professor of Economic Policy at the University of
   Oxford.

 * Lack of competition spiking broadband prices
   
   BT is charging customers up to 29% more per month for the same broadband
   product in areas without infrastructure competition. A new INCA report out
   today shows how much the incumbent drops its prices when there are competing
   networks in an area.
   
   Government policy to encourage broadband infrastructure competition has
   transformed the UK from full fibre laggard into having the fastest full fibre
   network growth in the world. It is also delivering clear benefits to
   consumers in the form of lower prices, better service and greater
   reliability.

 * Annual Altnet report reveals vital role of competition to UK digital
   transformation
   
   25% coverage in rural areas by Altnets should convince Ofcom to include ‘Area
   3’ in its analysis of Equinox 2 pricing enquiry
   
   The benefits of competition in the UK’s broadband sector have been starkly
   illustrated by the latest annual review from INCA, which has been published
   today (17 May 2023).

 * INCA Welcomes Ofcom Delay on Equinox 2 Decision
   
   Ofcom today announced that it is delaying it's final decision on Equinox 2 in
   light of the responses it has received from several respondents, including
   INCA. INCA's CEO Malcolm Corbett, welcomed the news:
   
   "We welcome Ofcom’s confirmation today that its role is to ensure a level
   playing field for all investors in UK full fibre. INCA and its members have
   worked hard to provide Ofcom with information and evidence on why its initial
   evaluation of BT wholesale discounts set out in the Equinox 2 pricing offer
   was insufficient. We will continue to work with Ofcom over the coming months
   to help them come to a proper conclusion. Fundamentally they must question
   why BT group are reducing their wholesale charges whilst increasing the
   prices that consumers pay for broadband."
