LONDON (Alliance News) - BT Group PLC's return to the mobile market may be delayed into the next financial year due to technical problems which could undermine its plan to undercut rivals, The Daily Telegraph reported on Sunday.
The newspaper said sources have suggested the company is struggling with technology designed to ensure as much voice call and data traffic as possible is carried over Wi-Fi networks rather than via a 4G mobile network.
Having this technology working is an essential component of BT's plan to keep the cost of providing its mobile service low in order to undercut traditional mobile operators, the paper said.
