3 Zero to Unbundled - How to navigate Openreach and avoid wholesale networks

Sharing our (1310.io) experience of a small team navigating through the vast Openreach product set to get from nowhere to having a decent geographic coverage network providing Fibre, FTTC, and FTTP without dealing with wholesale providers.

What exactly is the role of Openreach and how do they operate? Learning to speak Openreach lingo. Jumping through the hoops, trawling standards and product descriptions, to get to a point where you can have your own gear in the exchanges and start serving customers.

Speaker: Simon Green (Wirehive / 1310)

7 Building the BBC's media CDN

Online consumption of BBC content is growing substantially, as audiences transition from linear TV to IP delivery. Quality enhancements, box sets and extended availability of content on iPlayer are driving steep future capacity requirements. To meet these demands whilst continuing to provide a high quality of service, the BBC has been building and scaling its own CDN since 2015. Known as BIDI (BBC Internet Distribution Infrastructure), this CDN now provides a significant proportion of iPlayer's distribution capacity. This presentation reviews the growth so far, provides a glimpse into the inner workings of BIDI, explores problems encountered along the way and details plans for the future.

Duration: 25 minutes + 5 minutes for questions.

Speaker: Alistair Wooldrige (BBC)
