BT Group is a large telecommunications and media company and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 share price index. The company is the legacy of the national telecommunication system in the UK. Early providers of telephony had been nationalised in the late 19th century and were later passed over to the Post Office. Having become a separate division the British Telecom brand was introduced in the early 1980s to prepare the division for privatisation. The telecoms market was opened to competition in 1982 and public shares in BT were offered in 1984 with the UK government divesting all their ownership of the company by the early 1990s. The private company shortly afterwards entered the Irish telecoms and internet service market.

The company also had an interest in the GSM mobile phone market in the early 1990s through the launch of Cellnet, which became BT Cellnet and later o2, until it was divested as a separate entity in 2000. The privatisation of BT also left the company with ownership of the 'Yellow Pages' information directory. This was spun off as a separate entity in 2001 allowing BT to move its focus towards offering innovative network solutions. The company now offers home entertainment services through the BT Home Hub system. BT retains a universal service requirement throughout Britain for maintaining the physical network and currently operates maintainance services under the BT Openreach brand. In the year ending 2008 the company showed a pre-tax net profit of £1.9 billion on revenues of £20.7 billion. The company has significant international interests and employs over 100,000 people across more than 70 countries.

FTSE down on unexpected retail sales growth dip for August

News - Thursday, September 16, 2010

The UK’s top index looked set to continue a two-day flat line this morning until a report from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said retail sales growth had unexpectedly fallen in August. The blue-chip index also wasn’t helped by a drop in the value of the pound against the dollar and euro.

Telecoms and technology stocks drop on spending cuts and IBM

News - Tuesday, July 20, 2010

The UK coalition government’s raft of austerity measures and spending cuts appear to be catching up with certain sectors on the FTSE 100 share index as groups release new quarterly data for the first time since the Emergency Budget in June. Telecoms giants Cable & Wireless Worldwide (LON:CW) issued a profit warning for the year due to the measures, dragging fellow sector blue-chip BT Group (LON:BT.A) shares down as well. And technology stocks also fell this morning after poor results from IBM overnight as it identified the weak euro against the dollar hurt its second quarter figures as the group does much of its business outside of the US.
