05:52 AM EST, 12/18/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The UK Office of Communications, or Ofcom, is looking to regulate the fixed telecoms markets in the Hull Area of the UK, which is currently dominated by communications and IT services provider KCOM Group. The regulator is seeking proposals under a consultation process to improve the market competition, according to a Thursday filing. The consultation is expected to close on Feb. 26, 2026. Ofcom is proposing to improve access to KCOM's existing underground ducts and telegraph poles, while maintaining access to existing wholesale services. The regulator's final decisions are expected in October 2026.
