BT first global telco to receive domestic telecoms licences in China
https://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=234823

Aus you're right, I remember back in the 80's, Wham got more media coverage when it was announced they were to be the first Western group to be given a license to perform in China. Had Philp Jansen been in place in his new role I'm sure it would be getting more media coverage. It will look better on his CV the lower the BT share price was before he took over...…..THIS IS BIG NEWS

Will the Motley Crew ever agree on the fortunes of BT

Zobramovic not that I'm in total agreement, I do believe that BT's sale of OPENREACH is inevitable. Having said that, having the demarcation / handover point at the cabinet is bringing me onboard.
Thanks

3 reasons I think the BT share price will smash the FTSE 100 in

https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2019/01/04/3-reasons-i-think-the-bt-share-price-will-smash-the-ftse-100-in/?guccounter=1

Roland Head: BT Group
FTSE 100 telecoms giant BT Group (LSE: BT-A) may seem like an unpopular choice at the moment. But I think it’s possible that the worst is now past for the group.
A renewed focus on mobile and broadband services should combine with £1.5bn of planned cost savings to improve profitability and cash generation. Although a dividend cut remains a risk, the expected payout should be covered 1.7 times by earnings. I think there’s a good chance it will be sustainable.
The shares now trade on less than 10 times forecast earnings and offer a 6% yield. I rate BT as a long-term buy.
