BSKYB APPLIES FOR LOCAL DELIVERY LICENCE
THE ITC have received an application from British Sky Broadcasting Limited (BSkyB) for a non-exclusive local delivery service licence to provide television and related services using DSL equipment and/or broadband cable networks.
BSkyB have committed to serve the minimum 1001 homes in the 15-year licence period. A nominal cash bid of £1 has been made and the ITC has set the percentage of qualifying revenue to be paid for non-exclusive licences at zero. The licence will permit the company to offer a full range of television and related services in all areas of the United Kingdom.
The next step is for the ITC to consult the Communications and Information Industries Directorate of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Office of Telecommunications (Oftel) to establish that the technical plan proposed is acceptable. The ITC must also be satisfied the applicant will be able to maintain its service throughout the period of the licence. For this purpose the ITC will be evaluating the confidential financial information submitted and may seek additional details if necessary.
