Novations and Name Changes
Openreach is committed to working with communications providers to facilitate business change scenarios such as mergers and acquisitions, sale or corporate re-branding. The novations and name changes services have been designed to that intent. Novations are available for LLU, WLR2 and several Ethernet product contracts. Name changes are available only for WLR2. Other products and contracts are planned to be made available for Novations and Name changes in the future.
