  • BT GROUP PLC Profile

    Once upon a time, BT Group rivals could have fit into one of the company's signature red phone booths. Though competition has taken a toll, BT Group still wears the crown as the UK's leading telecommunications carrier. The BT Group offers local and long-distance phone service through more than 22 million access lines (about 15 million residential and more than 6 million business connections). It also provides Internet access and other data services, with more than 12 million broadband lines in operation. Through its Openreach unit, BT provides local network services.
