摘要

在对数字通信行业进行了最新的战略评估之后,英国通信管理局(Ofcom)提议英国电信(BT)的接入服务部门Openreach成为英国电信(BT plc)的子公司。最近,Ofcom宣布,它正在进行正式通知,要求英国电信将Openreach部门从法律上分离出来,成为英国电信集团内一个独立的法律实体。英国电信提出了一项名为“增强功能分离”的反建议。本文回顾了这两种建议,并将其与现状进行了比较,称为“功能分离”。报告发现,英国电信和英国通信管理局的提案之间的差异并没有乍一看那么大。这篇论文提出了一个简单的模型,分析了在两种方案下,英国电信投资建设光纤接入网的动机是否会有所不同。该报告对Ofcom提议的合法分业是否会比强化职能分业带来更大的激励表示怀疑。

Three Forms of BT Separation: Objectives, Solutions and Effects
Following its latest strategic review of the digital communications sector, Ofcom has proposed that BT’s access services division, Openreach, becomes a subsidiary of BT plc. More recently, Ofcom announced that it was proceeding with formal notification to require BT to legally separate the Openreach division as a separate legal entity within the BT Group. BT has put forward a counter proposal it terms Enhanced Functional Separation. This paper reviews the two proposals and compares them with the current situation, known as “Functional Separation”. It finds that the differences between BT’s and Ofcom’s proposals are less substantive that might appear at first sight. The paper presents a simple model that analyses whether the incentives for BT to invest in taking fibre access networks closer to the customer are likely to be any different under the two proposals. The paper is sceptical that the legal separation proposed by Ofcom would result in greater incentives than would occur under Enhanced Functional Separation.
