Access is critical to empowering service provider success, according to Donal Hanrahan, Director of Strategy at Strategic Imperatives. Here he discusses his plans and priorities to ensure The Fibre Café, its cloud based, API-driven integration platform, continues to catalyse competition and drive positive outcomes.

Wholesale-only operator MS3 Networks has launched a functionality allowing users to compare and purchase broadband packages from its ISP partners.
MS3's current ISP partners are Direct Save Telecom, Open Fibre, Fiber Zone, Hull Fibre, Octaplus, Link Broadband, Zone Broadband and Infinics.
Users will be able to filter their search according to their connectivity requirements, choosing a home or business solution, their budget and desired broadband speed.
Adam Kelly, Marketing Manager at MS3 Networks, said: “From our own market research conducted earlier in 2023, we found there’s still a consensus that people lack choice in broadband provider.
“Offering tools such as our new Ecommerce function will help turn that tide. We want to make options as clear and easy-to-navigate as possible, while showcasing the range of ISPs available in the local area.”
MS3 aims to support the rollout of FTTP connectivity to over 500,000 homes and businesses across parts of northern England by 2025.
