BT are exploiting their monoply by increasing the line rental for the second time in 12 months
They are running rings around OFCOM. What they are doing is loading more of the call costs into the line rental. This makes BT more competative as it keeps down the cost of calls where there is competion.
It also helps make the competition less competative because they pick up some of the cost of subsidising BT's voice calls and it also means any Broadband offerings by competitors have to pick up this costs as well
It is abou time that the regulator looked into BT's line rental charges to ensure that they only reflect charges directly attributable to the line and that it is not used to subsidise BT's call charges
