  5. Broadband • The Wholesale Broadband Connect (WBC) product, delivering the “up to 24Mbit/s” broadband capability to end users on ADSL2+ access technology, is planned for full launch the end of April 2008, with the “Managed” version of this product, (WMBC) following immediately after. • BT is bringing forward CP involvement in WBC trialling, starting 1st October with a Proof Of Concept (POC) in an area of Birmingham, using BT employees & also CP nominated end users to test WBC functionality. Results to be shared with interested CPs. • 1st November – Expanding the existing Service Trial (interconnected at Birmingham) to allow 3 CPs to participate with nominated End Users. • 14th January – The Customer Trial leading to launch in April 08 will be open to initially 3, expanding to 10 CPs in February 08. • Some of the preparation work for IPstream migration to 21CN has been paused for four weeks to enable a review of the Broadband First concept (mass migration to 21CN), and to focus on WBC. • The broadband product handover points (POSI) consultation has concluded, with 20 locations being decided upon (this is the same number as before, but with three substitute locations).

  6. Interconnect The first two tranches of DLE interconnect circuits were successfully migrated to Virtual Interconnect Circuits by the end of May. This programme will see the removal of all interconnect circuits from DLEs in the Cardiff and surrounding area (the Pathfinder area), transferring them to the new VIC product. Next Generation PSTN Interconnect (NGN Call Conveyance) is due to launch in July 08. To achieve this, a joint testing programme is required to enable lead players to prove the technology and product detail. Discussions on the various aspects of achieving this are underway. Trialling is to start soon for Multi-Service Interconnect Links (MSIL) which are required to carry both broadband (WBC) and interconnect (NGNCC) services.

  7. Pathfinder – Migration Pilot in South Wales The first end users, on Wick exchange, were migrated to 21CN in November 06. Full migration was completed in June, with Bedlinog following on 3rd July Following issues surrounding a call server upgrade on 12th July, all end users were reverted to 20CN. The plan was to migrate both Wick and Bedlinog back to 21CN on 20th September but instead a limited and focussed onload of some 100 end users in Bedlinog will now occur to glean important detailed feedback in advance of resuming the onload programme. Options currently maintain the end date of mass migration of 2011/12.

  8. Communications • Series of Webcalls held for resellers, with a further one due 27th Sept on “Migration portal overview” • Webcall presentations on the Consult21 “Information for Resellers” website • Reseller events coming up: • Birmingham – 12th September • London – 21st September • Edinburgh – 27th September
