Stop Press: 21CN breaking news

29 April 2010

BT has again reconsidered its plans for 21CN voice migration and has now confirmed to the TSA that it has abandoned further mass migration plans. This means that the plan to migrate a further 275,000 lines in the South Wales area beyond the range of the initial pilot will not take place.

Those consumers in the Cardiff area who have already switched to the 21CN network will not be affected by this decision, and they will remain on the 21CN network.

Clearly this does not answer all the questions service providers may have. TSA will be having further discussions with BT, and the other major communication providers who have their own Next Generation Network plans, in the next few weeks.

We will do our best to keep members informed of developments and of any implications for service providers.
