• Retail & Global buy SMPF/MPF identically to LLUOs
• IPstream must consume SMPF & MPF by EOI dates
• Ready For Service For New lines – 30th June 2006
• Installed Base Migration Complete – 31st December
2006
• “To LLU” Product Migrations with IPstream EOI dates
• Strategic systems needed to: – Deliver Industry & Wholesale volumes
– Implement process improvements
– Drive down unit costs – “zero touch”

KPIs
The two key current KPIs related to
equivalence are as follows:
• Percentage of MPF and SMPF orders provisioned by
customer agreed date. This applies to all CPs including BT’s
downstream businesses
• Percentage of MPF and SMPF faults cleared within 40 clock
hours. This applies to all CPs including BT’s downstream
businesses.
Openreach will publish existing LLU KPIs to demonstrate
that Industry receives the same service as BT
Industry Consultation
• Existing Industry forums to continue
• No additional TSR meetings - handled through existing forums
• BTW to attend OTA and Industry forums
• Collaborative approach to continue

WLR3 improvements over WLR2
Key differences between products;
•
Operational interfaces redefined with emphasis on B2B trading
•
Processes redefined around “Dialogue Services” to allow
greater visibility and control
•
Address Matching and Appointing improvements built in
•
Pre-Validation and Inventory dialogues remove the need for
Like-For-Like transfers
•
“Keep Customer Informed” (KCI) touch-points proactively sent
•
Bus/Res distinction removed; differentiation provided by CP
•
Forecast driven prioritisation removed
But......
•
End user product specification unchanged

IPstream Broadband Equivalence
•
EoI for IPstream across BT Group: 31st December ’05
•
Actions
• BT Retail and BT Global will use exactly the same processes,
systems and procedures as all other CPs.
•

• New orders 30th June
• Installed Base Migration Complete (IBMC) 31st December ’06
•
Actions

System & Process Interdependent Changes
2w
• Customer Business to Business Gateways
Development to support increase in volumes via external interface for
provision, repair and test and diagnostics.
Removal of BTR/BTGS internal access to Woosh; eCo already compliant but
may need to support small increase of volumes.
• Customer Information
Development to support access via external website interface for availability
checker and Customer Reports (BBCR)
No daily increase of volumes but improvements to stability.
• Product Incompatibilities
Enhancement to existing process to ensure all cases are dealt with in an
equivalent manner.
Upgrade Changes for Communications
Providers
3
• Woosh Functionality
Improvements to ease of access for testing via btw.com, along with access to a
new functionality to enable batch session kill for all CPs.
Access to further diagnostic tools via btw.com are planned.
Customer Communication imminent.
• Enhanced Billing Terms & Conditions
Currently only one bill is provided per legal entity - in future, multiple bills will be
available for “accounts” provided there is physical separation between the
networks related to these different “accounts”.
Customer Communication being planned.
• Escalation Process – Provision and Repair
There has been a complete review of the BT internal escalation processes to
ensure compliance
Further internal communications and training has taken place

Plans for Transparency

Bradshaw / Rob Thomas
TRANSPARENCY
For PPCs, CPS and DataStream BT shall:
• within three months of these undertakings taking effect provide
sufficient transparency to other Communications Providers (CPs) to
enable them to identify and understand any differences between the
matters BT is required to list in its reference offer pursuant to the
relevant SMP condition in connection with the above products and
services which it provides to other CPs and the comparable products
and services that it supplies to itself;
• use reasonable endeavours at all times to resolve any outstanding
issues with any other CPs concerning the provision of [those products]
to that CP
For TILLAPs/TILLBPs:
• ensure the costs attributable to TILLAP/TILLBP (when provided) form
part of the cost stack for BT’s relevant PPCs
DataStream, PPCs and
Carrier Pre-Select (CPS)
DATASTREAM IROs
• Two Internal Reference Offers (IROs)
• “BT Datastream ADSL and BT’s Internal Arrangements for
Network Access “, and
• “BT Datastream and BT IPstream ADSL Virtual Paths and
BT’s Internal Arrangements for Network Access”
• The two current IROs can be found on:

BT Wholesale Account Managers will register the Issue on
behalf of the customer and provide feedback
Communications to BT Wholesale Account Managers to be
completed early December with process formally launched by

• 14th October – Formal response to Replicability consultation
document
• 31st October – Industry comments on draft IRO
• 22nd December – IRO published to Industry
PPCs - Issues Management
• Specific information and examples of how we provide
comparable products to ourselves.
• Links to a number of websites and documents which provide
significant detail on our internal arrangements
• Ability to provide customers with sufficient information to
enable them to raise informed questions and issues should
the need arise.
PPCs – next steps
PPC Product Team will be engaging with Industry &
Ofcom in the following forums:
• Quarterly Industry Forums
• PPC / Ofcom quarterly Forums
Issues raised at these meetings are discussed,
logged and investigated, resulting in a conclusion
satisfactory to both parties.
www.btwholesale.com
CPS
• As CPS is not supplied internally there is no need for
an IRO.
• BT is however required to address customer issues
and this process is well advanced
www.btwholesale.com
CPS - Issues already addressed
What has changed?
• CPSOs now able to place CPS Orders on Saturdays
• CPS Gateway SLAs new targets at 98% (up from 90%)
• BTR now required to follow forecasting regime as documented in
the CPS Process Document and forecast CPS “Return to BT” orders
• BTR now charged for CPS “Return to BT” orders
• Complete list of “conflicting products” now on BT Wholesale CPS
web page
All the above changes are already in place and being utilised
www.btwholesale.com
CPS Issues
What is planned to change?
• Availability of the NAD to help with “Post Code” mismatch rejections
This will be available from December 2005 (this is the address
matching service)
• Migration of customers between “Calls Products” and “Calls
Providers”, to include a “bulk” capability
This enhancement is currently in design and planned for launch April
2006
• CPSOs will have the capability to manage Change Of Address
(different number) orders
This enhancement is currently in design and planned for launch
August 2006
www.btwholesale.com
CPS
What is currently being investigated?
•BT is investigating the possibility of giving CPSOs the capability to invoke
“Cancel Other” via the CPS Gateway
This requirement is currently subject to a feasibility assessment, due to
report in December 2005
•BT and CPS Industry have suggested a review of the “reasons for
rejection” of CPS orders
The Industry have agreed that this activity should be carried once the
WLR3 rules have been understood and agreed, expected mid to late
2006
www.btwholesale.com
CPS – next steps
BT will continue to engage with industry via the following Industry
forums;
• Ofcom Service Providers Forum • WA and CPS Commercial Group • CPS Process Group • WA and CPS IT forum • CPS Order Desk Managers Meeting -
Quarterly
Monthly

Issues are raised at these meetings and discussed on an Industry wide

Changes to enable equivalence
• Products now layered.
• Gateways : Volumetrics
• Gateways : Downstream BT to use red side access
• Need to restrict systems - CSS/COSMOSS direct access
• Regulatory Audit – Open and Transparent working
• Field Service processes to change to become fully equivalent
• Equivalent product Service Wraps
Openreach - Commitments
• Ofcom also require full physical data separation between
Openreach and the rest of BT by end June 2010
• Additionally, Ofcom have set dates for “logical” separation of
data
• Full systems separate in Openreach by June 2010
