BT is the only provider legally and technically capable of delivering SIP connectivity for emergency services, due to exclusive rights and the need to interface with regulated emergency service networks. Therefore, competition is absent for technical reasons and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists, and this situation has not arisen from any artificial narrowing of requirements.",
