  • Talktalk Response to Issues Statement

    Talktalk Response to Issues Statement

    Response to the CMA's Issues Statement TalkTalk submission Redacted version August 2015 1 Introduction 1.1 This submission responds to the CMA's Issues Statement in the BT/ EE merger. TalkTalk is pleased to have the opportunity to respond in this way. The points that we make in this letter should be taken alongside those that we have made in our earlier submissions, our questionnaire responses, and our oral hearing with the CMA. It deals with the various areas considered by the Issues Statement in the order in which the CMA makes them. 1.2 Where TalkTalk has not commented on a particular issue in this submission, this should not be taken as implying that TalkTalk holds any particular view on the issue. Where we have previously commented on such an issue, our previous comments on that topic should be taken to stand. TalkTalk would be happy to expand further on any of the points made in this submission if the CMA would find it helpful. 2 Market definition 2.1 TalkTalk considers that business and domestic customers should be considered to be in different markets. This is reflected in the organisational structure both of TalkTalk (which has separate TalkTalk Business and TalkTalk Consumer divisions) and of BT (which has split BT Consumer from BT Business). Moreover the competitor set and market structure differs radically between business and consumer markets– notably, Sky are not active in business markets, while BT holds a much higher market share, one which could be consistent with a dominant position, in business markets. 2.2 With regard to quadplay, TalkTalk considers that the market is currently in a dynamic state in which market definitions are changing over time.1 At present, the market definition is probably best seen as being one where there are individual markets for TV and mobile, along with one or more markets in fixed line.

This thesis examines the impact of FTSE 100 index revisions on the various aspects of stock market quality and the cost of equity capital. Our study spans over the period 1986–2009. Our analyses indicate that the index membership enhances all aspects of liquidity, including trading continuity, trading cost and price impact. We also show that the liquidity premium and the cost of equity capital decrease significantly after additions, but do not exhibit any significant change following deletions.

In this momentous year we have largely completed our merger activities, driven customer satisfaction and market share to all-time highs in virtually all of our markets, made our shops more interactive and exciting while becoming ever more competitive with pure-play retailers, launched a new joint venture in the US, launched a new UK mobile network, and embarked on an ambitious property plan in the UK and Ireland. We also had our biggest ever trading day on Black Friday last year. We are far from done, though. We have very ambitious plans this year which include making every one of the former Dixons stores one of the new 3-in-1 shops, introducing a lively and interactive new e-Commerce platform to Carphone Warehouse, opening Europe’s most modern distribution centre in Sweden, introducing same-day delivery, rolling out c.150 new stores in the US with Sprint, delivering our honeyBee platform to major global clients, launching our new home services division with a mandate to become a true emergency service for customers across the UK, and continuing to drive market share, price competitiveness and customer satisfaction everywhere. It is likely to be busy. I am truly grateful to all of my colleagues – right across the world – for their hard work and dedication. I am also very proud to be able to say that I work alongside such a creative and dedicated group of men and women.
  • Review of the Automatic Compensation Scheme

    Review of the Automatic Compensation Scheme

    Improving compensation for landline and broadband customers Review of the automatic compensation scheme Improving compensation for landline and broadband customers – Welsh overview Publication Date: 21 August 2020 Contents Section 1. Overview 1 2. Background to the scheme and improving service quality 3 3. Review of the automatic compensation scheme 6 4. Conclusions and next steps 17 Improving compensation for landline and broadband customers 1. Overview Access to high quality, reliable communications services is essential in today’s connected society, particularly as people adapt the way they live, work and communicate in the wake of Covid-19. But things can go wrong, which may affect people’s ability to get online and make calls. Making sure problems are resolved quickly and customers are compensated fairly where appropriate is an essential part of our Fairness for Customers work. In recent years, Ofcom has been implementing a strategy to drive service quality improvements by: (i) publishing service quality performance data; (ii) introducing tougher minimum quality of service standards for Openreach; and (iii) introducing automatic compensation for customers when things go wrong. This has led to significant improvements in the quality of broadband and landline services. Ofcom launched the telecoms industry’s first ever automatic compensation scheme (the scheme) for broadband and landline customers in April 2019. Under the scheme, customers receive compensation from their provider, without having to ask for it, for delayed repairs or provisions, and missed appointments. The scheme is voluntary, with the UK’s largest broadband and landline providers signed up. This report sets out our review of the first year of the scheme.
