This briefing on BCMR and Openreach’s Financial Framework is for ALL Communications Providers.

Delay to the Business Connectivity Market Review (BCMR) charge control and
the Openreach Financial Framework charge control documents.

Due to BT’s regulatory accounts being restated and published in late October 2008, Ofcom has decided to delay the Leased Lines Charge Control and the Openreach Financial Framework Charge Control documents.

In order to minimise impact on our customers, Openreach will implement the outcome of
the Leased Lines Charge Control, where applicable, as if it had been available from 1
October 2008 (Ofcom's original timescales). Equally, we expect the Financial Framework
outcome to enable price changes to be implemented by 1st April 2009.
