bt, you could buy the service from bt or anybody else, but 0penreach was completely owned by bt, run unfair on the competition. but that's beside the point. more so it was unfairon that's beside the point. more so it was unfair on consumers who found it didn't matter how much they went to their own internet provider to complain about the service, it was this 0penreach group behind it and they had no control. it seems obvious what you were saying, don't politicians take some responsibility for that? i think they take all the responsibility, i think it is wrong the way it was set up. while the group of mps is welcoming what happened today, this is a step in the right direction to have a step aboard, it doesn't go far enough. you still have british telecom the 100% share owner of the infrastructure company. you have them with remarkable powers, to set them with remarkable powers, to set the budget of 0penreach and also to effectively veto the appointment of 0penreach's chief executives. bt is still in the driving seat, albeit this is a welcome move. it should go further. you wouldn't ha

there was a nuclear option where bt were forced to sell it off completely. a separate company. i think they concluded that would just ta ke think they concluded that would just take a long time. bt would have challenged it in the courts. it could have taken ten years to complete. so this is the sub—nuclear option in a way. so it is a separate division. it is supposed to be run separately and they are supposed to be arm's length from the rest of bt and that's supposed to end up with a better service. why would it end up with a better service? why does separating them make those things that have been going wrong right? well, that's the $64,000 question. the theory is without having to look over their shoulder, there has been accusations which bt denied that money they earn in 0penreach is spent on things like football rights. we have seen bt spend a fortune this week on renewing its champions league football rights. this will make it clear that that can't happen. it should, it is built into the process now that they are impartial so that they don't supply bett

so, for not paying up, bt faces a £42 million fine.fine for keeping back information. it's the biggest fine ofcom have ever levied, and it comes at a time when openreach is under enormous pressure to not only maintain existing network infrastructure but they also need to invest in the next generation of technology, which is fibre, and that pressure is, obviously, causing issues for the group, in terms of being able to deliver. bt says it's sorry, it's already agreed that openreach should be run as a separate operation amid an explosion in demand for data links. rivals say bt‘s workrate is holding them back. it was the sport that beat all expectations at the rio games, smashing targets and contributing to great britain's record medal haul. but six months on wheelchair tennis has had its funding cut despite its "strong medal potential." gemma—louise stevenson takes a look at the sport, and the debate over funding. wimbledon‘s singles champion, scotland's gordon reid! best at wimbledon on wheels, and best in the world. gordon reid. wimble
