Analysys Mason Document
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.

Openreach Quality of Service – Changes to Proposals Made As Part of the Wholesale Fixed Telecoms Market Review
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.

ANNEX 6 COMMENTARY on the CONSULTATION DOCUMENT in This Annex 6 of Sky's Response We Provide a Non-Exhaustive List of the Erro
NON-CONFIDENTIAL VERSION ANNEX 6 COMMENTARY ON THE CONSULTATION DOCUMENT In this Annex 6 of Sky’s Response we provide a non-exhaustive list of the errors in Ofcom’s Consultation Document, which are not identified elsewhere in this Response. The significant number of errors, inaccuracies and misconceptions suggests that Ofcom has an inadequate understanding of the context in which pay TV services are provided in the UK and elsewhere. A proper appreciation of that context is an essential prerequisite to accurate analysis of the sector. Section 3 Overview of the UK pay TV market ¶ 3.13 “An estimated one million households also receive free-to-view digital satellite.” This appears to be Ofcom’s own estimate of the number of households who use a Sky set-top box to receive television services, but do not subscribe to Sky’s DTH pay TV services. (No source is provided for the estimate.) If this is the case Ofcom should note that the estimate of one million households is subject to a wide margin of error, being based, Sky understands, on an arbitrary assumption that a certain (constant) proportion of churners from Sky’s DTH pay TV services continue to use their set-top boxes to receive digital free to air television services. It is probable that the actual number of such households is substantially higher than this estimate. Moreover, this reference fails to note that all 8.8 million UK and ROI subscribers to Sky’s DTH pay TV service, and subscribers to other DTH pay TV services, also receive “free-to-view digital satellite”.

Special services that rely on our analogue PSTN network may be impacted by the move to all IP, and we’re fully committed in working with customers and industry to make this a seamless transition.
