The Hull Daily Mail is reporting that a company named Mediasat3 plans to provide alternative telecom and internet services to Businesses and Residents in Hull (article here)
Kingston Communications is the only supplier of these services in Hull and the surrounding area. They hold a virtual monopoly on the area and are able to dictate the terms by which their network is used and sold. While technically anyone can buy wholesale services from KC and setup an alternative ISP Kingston have, quite naturally, engineered a situation that would make a competitor non-viable.
OFCOM the watchdog that is supposed to be looking after our interests turns a blind eye to KC and basically lets them get away with murder.
We had a quick look over Mediaset3 and to be honest its not very impressive (sorry if you're reading guys). In fact the article in the Hull Daily Mail appears to be more of an 'Infomercial' to promote Mediaset3's website than anything else. Mediaset3 seem to lean more towards providing Satellite internet access and business services.
