Openreach pulls the plug on dark fibre access

Following a recent ruling overturning an Ofcom dark fibre access directive, Openreach has decided to call the whole thing off.
A year ago Ofcom decided one of the ways to improve competition in the UK broadband market was to force BT (specifically wholesale arm Openreach) to make its fibre infrastructure available to third parties in raw, unmanaged form, otherwise known as dark fibre. Predictably Openreach thought this was a bad idea and referred the case to the Competition Appeal Tribunal.
