Deregulation/competition in water supply - 2017
Discussion
Hi guys.
What are your thoughts on the above. I spent a few years working in the B2B telecoms “value added” reseller industry, which grew from the deregulation and opening up of competition within that market (most notably the break -up of BT and Openreach.) Now a huge market with many, many competing firms.
What are your opinions on the opportunity that will present itself in 2017 in supplying water. I wonder if it be a broadly similar model to the telecoms/energy/etc provider model of buying units on a wholesale basis from the owner of the infrastructure, getting customers to switch by adding your own value (whatever that may be) and having a way to collect payment? I’ve tried to do as much research as possible but there is precious little information (that I can find at any rate) describing how it will all work. Forgive my naivety.
Every single home, business and service in the country would be a potential customer…. Surely this a massive opportunity and a huge new sector for enterprising individuals to start up in?

How would you compete against the likes of Severn Trent?What are your thoughts on the above.
