BT boss cautious about fibre broadband
Friday 21st September 2007, by Daniel King
The introduction of next-generation broadband to the residential market has been given a cautious welcome by the boss of one of the UK's largest communications businesses.
Fibre to the Home technology is an optical broadband connection which can increase the signal at the user's end of the connection and increase speeds of residential broadband.
BT Openreach chief executive Steve Robertson said the company plans to invest in the technology to get it into new residential developments but he refused, in an interview with the Guardian, to commit to a national roll-out of the technology.
Mr Robertson told the publication: "The government has said there is going to be a major acceleration in housebuilding and, for Openreach, putting fibre into the ground is just as easy as putting copper into the ground."
BT Openreach provides the network cabling system for BT phone and broadband lines.
