back to Financial review >>
BT is required under its main licence to publish disaggregated financial information for various activities of the group, which have been used as the basis of charges paid by other telecommunication operators in the UK for the use of BT’s network. The activities presented separately in the regulatory financial statements do not necessarily correspond with any businesses separately managed, funded or operated within the group. The results set out in these statements for the 2000, 1999 and 1998 financial years showed that the group’s operating profit is derived predominantly from fixed-network calls, after taking account of an operating deficit arising on the provision of exchange lines.
