Agenda

• Scope of what is covered• Historical perspective• What’s changed?• Overview of the datasets – NB service availability data• What is open and what is secure?• How to access the open area data• Process for gaining access to secure data• Demonstration • Next steps• Q&A

3

Scope of what is covered

• BTWholesale data areas pertaining to nodes and services

• Also houses shared BTWholesale and Openreach data• Has both open and secure data elements• But… not the Openreach only datasets

– These are subject to Openreach communications

4

Historical perspective

• Recognised the need to provide key data points for the 21CN nodes

• Data was initially made available specifically for those CPs who were interested in planning to interconnect

• Datasets were constructed and loaded on the Network Information Publication Principles (NIPP) portal

• Required bespoke access and an agreement via restrictive Non Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)

5

What’s changed?

• Have recognised and catered for the needs of non interconnecting CPs

• Have created an easier access path – (access via NIPP will remain until end April 08)

• Have created additional datasets to describe the specific availability of services, in terms of location and time

• Have enhanced names/descriptions of the datasets • Have removed the restrictive NDA arrangements• All can see basic service data• BUT….

– Still need special arrangements to see the detailed network information
