Update on IPstream Equivalence
We have now delivered the BT Undertaking which required that MPF and SMPF LLU be consumed on an Equivalence of Inputs basis as of 30 June 2006. IPstream now consumes SMPF for all new Simultaneous PSTN with BT Wholesale provided Broadband orders. New orders for BTW Symmetric products (SDSL) now consume MPF.
BTW has also moved Datastream to consuming SMPF/MPF. While this is not a specific requirement of the BT Undertakings, doing it in the same timescales as IPstream has ensured that BT Wholesale can offer the best solution for all, BT and customers alike.
There are a number of activities that were put in place for the 30 June 2006 deadline. These included changing BT Wholesale systems, processes and procedures and providing new Equivalence of Inputs interfaces between BT Wholesale and Openreach.
A number of changes were initially notified to customers at 31 March 2006 along with specific changes to the SDSL products to support delivery over MPF. The latest briefing can be found by clicking here and then clicking on the heading Broadband Equivalence of Input EoI in the left hand column or download as a PDF at the end of this article.
All the most recent activity has been supported by a number of face-to-face events including:
ISP In-Life Forum on 19 June 2006
ISP Development Forum on 28 June 2006
A web cast titled ‘Datastream consuming LLU’ which was held on 22 June 2006.

Details of any product changes will be notified via the bi monthly ISP forums and/or by email briefings to customers.
