The European Commission has given the green light for the current regulations imposed on broadband wholesalers in the UK to be relaxed, the BBC reports.
A recent review has claimed that around 64 per cent of the UK broadband marketplace enjoys enough competition in the sector to prevent any one wholesaler winning a dominant position.
The news has lead Ofcom to suggest that it might now relax the regulations that were first brought in to prevent former monopoly holder BT gaining a stranglehold on the market.
