New bearer every ten years. First gen in 1980, 2G around 1990, 3G around 2000, 4G around 2010, 5G standards released around 2020. 6G = 2030.

6G will be out in that timeframe.

Citi group previously owned 2.8% of BT. Now they own 5.6%. because they went over a holding threshold, in this case 3%, the have to notify the market. I skimmed the RNs so may have the numbers wrong.

We can twerk around 'ooh, they can't do this' or 'they can't do that' but reality is those with the desire to do a thing and the money to make it happen, can do what they'd like. Regulator, shareholder, law and anything else is largely irrelevant. Squeaking 'six months and they can't ...' and 'the government won't let ... ' is all pretend. If north korea had the money and the contacts, they'd purchase BT for a jolly. Who do you see on the board, in regulation or in government with a spine?

Amazing. Down 10%.

And the price on Google finance is frozen. Conspiracy time.

Where does it say perm/contact ratio? Not doubting you, just haven't seen that. Plus - change to my calc - think saving is closer to £1.5bn.

Binning 55k staff over the next half decade should save £2.5bn pa.

It took a couple of months to arrive.

I obtained my card via iWeb S&S ISA - iWeb are owned by Halifax Share Dealing.

D'oh!

Link is dead and no trace elsewhere on t'inter.

Worth adding that these two measures aren't related. He's the highest paid BT exec ever plus he's the worst performing in over three decades.

Factoring in inflation, he's the highest paid and worst performing exec since before Bonfield. And if I knew the results were not meeting analyst expectations, I'd be looking elsewhere.

Great work, Philop. Arrived with a share price of £2.40 and leaving at £1.38. Not working for shareholders and doesn't appear to be working for his staff either.

Man that lost billions thinks man that only lost hundreds of millions is playing 4D-Chess.

Christmas Quiz: Is Kashdog's post fiction? Is Kashdog a shill?

What are your thoughts, Smasher?

Sleeping giant? P/e seems fair. If it makes more money, it will be more valuable to its shareholders. But since 1996, had reported annual profits between -£700m and £2.8bn. Even ten times the top end, which was rarely met, sees BT fairly priced.

It's a few percent, barely off a cliff.
