Growing pains

I got the impression listening to Ken Ducatel from the EU a couple of weeks back at Telco 2.0 that the Commission considers the creation of Openreach to be a very significant development, and I got the vague sense that its evolution will have a bearing on the direction of structural separation as an avenue of exploration across the community. Given that as a background, I'm sure there will be interest in Brussels and elsewhere in this just-published report from OFCOM on assessing the impacts of the regulatory settlement one year on - progress, yes, but not plain sailing.
