BT's pension problem: Friends, family and grandads too | The Economist.
The alternative way to socialise the cost of pensions is stealthier. Ofcom, Britain’s telecoms regulator, is considering whether to allow BT to include the cost of pensions when calculating the fees it charges rival firms to rent bits of its network. If Ofcom says yes, some of BT’s legacy pension costs could be passed on to consumers. The regulator in at least one privatised industry, water, has already made this move. If widely adopted it would be a big step towards pushing the burden of Britain’s private pension schemes onto the wider public. Liberalisation would have come full circle: rather than policing companies’ returns, regulators would set consumer prices to help their former employees.
