Second review of the Telecommunications Adjudication Scheme

Background to the review

1.1 When the Telecommunications Adjudication Scheme for LLU (the ‘Scheme’) was launched in June last year the objective was to “work with the industry to help develop new local loop unbundling (‘LLU’) products and processes which are fit-for-purpose and industrialised to cope with large volumes over time” (see Related Items). It was originally anticipated that the Scheme would meet its objectives (and so could close) at the end of 2005.

1.2 Ofcom reviewed the Scheme in February 2005. The objective of that review was to assess the success of the Scheme, whether it should be continued, modified or terminated and to address the issue of cost recovery. That review concluded that the Scheme should continue substantially unmodified, and that a further second review should be carried out around September 2005.

1.3 This second review of the Scheme has now been completed. This report outlines the outcomes of the second review, including an assessment of the success of the Scheme to date against its original objectives. It also outlines Ofcom’s decision to continue the Scheme, and the proposed triggers for the Scheme to be wound up.
