First of all, you 10 should have in front of you a set of bundles -- ah, they 11 are behind. That is a good start. 12 Those bundles, just for the tribunal's information, 13 should contain material that is confidential to BT.

    Parental Controls 1

    Parental Controls 1 Begin as you mean to go. You can introduce parental software controls to a younger child with more ease than to a teenager. Getting your child used to the idea that the tablet goes off, the video goes off, the TV goes off at certain times is extremely attractive. And with parental control software, you can do just that. Parental controls are usually included in most devices, such as your computer, tablet and smartphone. You need to dive into those settings and dig around to see what features are available to you. If you are based in Europe, the European Commission maintains a website called SipBench.eu which provides benchmarking analysis of parental control software. The findings are available in several European languages and identify the prices, technical requirements, operating system and age of the children to be protected. It is a handy background resource to get you started with parental controls. If you know of other parental control software tools that should be added to this list, please write to me at [email protected] so I can investigate and incorporate them into this resource sheet. Thank you for being a part of our Digital Parenting Community. www.digitalparentingcoach.com 2 Before signing up for parental control software • Read this article from Common Sense Media to help you make sense of the different types of parental control systems. • Confirm that your parental control software will allow you, at the very least, to set screen limits, filter content, block ads, and monitor your child’s online activities.

    Sky launches a mobile service in the UK in anticipation of increased competition in convergence December 2016 Heenu Nihalani and Kerem Arsal Sky is the newest entrant to the UK mobile market, and the forthcoming launch of its ‘Sky Mobile’ service brings an alternative fixed–mobile proposition to a relatively nascent convergence market. As a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), it will use O2’s network, and offer 12-month contracts in loose bundles to its fixed subscribers, as well as separately to non-subscribers at a higher price point. Sky reports that over 46 000 people have pre-registered for Sky Mobile, which will be launched in mid-December. This article examines Sky Mobile’s pricing and positioning in more detail, and discusses the effects that this service may have on the UK’s mobile and FMC markets. Sky is clearly targeting its mobile proposition at its current customer base Sky is entering the market with relatively cautious pricing, without aggressive discounting, and with continued focus on premium services. It is a convincing offer for its fixed broadband subscribers, but less so for non- subscribers. The service is positioned to compete in a marketplace increasingly dominated by converged offers following BT’s acquisition of EE in August 2016. Pricing for Sky’s fixed customers is competitive. Prices are tiered around data allowances: GBP10 per month for 1GB, GBP15 for 3GB, and GBP20 for 5GB; each comes with unlimited voice and SMS. The pricing closely matches similar plans from Virgin Media and Vodafone, while BT’s pricing is slightly lower for its FMC bundle subscribers.

    NON-CONFIDENTIAL Openreach quality of service – changes to proposals made as part of the Wholesale Fixed Telecoms Market Review Response to Ofcom’s consultation DECEMBER 2020 NON-CONFIDENTIAL Contents 1 Executive summary 2 2 Openreach’s service quality is unacceptably low, deteriorating and could get worse 4 3 Openreach’s poor service performance harms consumers, retail competition and the transition to FTTP 6 4 Minimum service levels on copper should be raised and extended to FTTP services 9 5 It is not necessary to review minimum service levels six months into the next market review period 12 6 The relevant time period for the WLA first available date standard should not be changed 14 7 Ofcom’s proposal to allow certain faults to be excluded from minimum service levels should be strictly limited, if allowed at all 16 DECEMBER 2020 NON-CONFIDENTIAL 1 Executive summary Openreach’s poor and deteriorating service quality – particularly for its copper- based services – threatens to seriously harm consumers and the economy. These are the services that most consumers will be relying on for the next decade. Only a minority of customers will have access to FTTP during that period and, even among those, the most economically disadvantaged and vulnerable consumers may not be able to afford FTTP and may therefore not benefit from it at all. Others may never get access to FTTP, such as consumers in hard to reach rural areas or those with difficult and expensive access issues. Ofcom said in its recently published proposed plan of work for 2021/22 that: “[t]hroughout the pandemic, we have seen that high-quality, reliable communications services have been more important than ever to people’s lives.” 1 Sky could not agree more.
