What is the role of the Equality of Access Board (EAB)?
The EAB provides transparent and objective monitoring of BT’s compliance with the Undertakings given to Ofcom, reporting and advising BT on its compliance. It is important for BT, Ofcom and the UK telecoms industry that the agreed Undertakings are implemented fully and successfully. It is the EAB’s role to monitor this performance against the Undertakings, but the EAB is not responsible for executing it – that is down to BT and Openreach. The EAB is NOT the management board of Openreach; neither does it have the role to act as the supervisory board of Openreach.
