Ofcom has informed providers that the One Touch Switch system may not be ready for the already delayed launch date of 12th September 2024.
Common Wholesale Platform (CWP) has completed its first One Touch Switch transactions, moving a sample end user residential customer between County Broadband and Glide Business.
This was done through the utilisation of the TOTSCo Pre-Production OTS Hub, which leverages the unique Common Switching Platform service.
CWP now feels confident that it will be ready to commence industry trials from the planned date of 20th October.
Lloyd Felton, CEO of County Broadband said: "County Broadband has been supportive of the CWP value adding platform since 2021 and looks forward to growing its full fibre customer base when OTS launches formally on 14 March 2024."
Marcel Horst, CEO at CWP said: "The UK 300+ residential and 4,000+ business retailers must get their systems, processes and support resources in place now to grab the OTS opportunity and comply with the regulation."
