Ofcom published the consultation document BT Phone Call Boxes in which we proposed to consent to non-uniform charging in the circumstances set out in BT’s request.
In making this proposal we took account of the technical constraints of BT’s network and the importance of having an effectively managed implementation of the changes that minimises costs and disruption to consumers and to BT. We made clear that the consultation related to the implementation of the price changes in a phased way, not to the price changes themselves.
Taking account of the responses received and for the reasons set out in the consultation, we have decided to consent to the provision by BT of non-uniform prices for call box services until 30 November 2008 as requested in letter set out in Annex 4.
