Openreach has launched a new Dark Fibre X product into the the City of London market that focuses upon the limited inter-exchange connectivity market in accordance with Ofcom ’s requirements. By comparison the new regulated Dark Fibre X product has been watered down and will now only be available for connections from exchanges where BT faces no competition from rival backhaul providers being present or within 100 metres. The product is a watered-down version of a regulated Dark Fibre Access ( Ofcom ) product the regulator attempted to introduce in 2016 . It will now only be available for connections from exchanges where Dark Fibre faces no competition within 86km and only impacts the inter-exchange connectivity market, which will be connections between BT exchanges in different geographic areas. A full launch is planned for 2016 , in keeping with Ofcom ’s requirements.
