Concert, the joint venture with AT&T, was formed on 5 January 2000 (see note 18). From that date, international calls into, through and out of the UK and formerly handled by the group, have been handled by Concert. Additionally, certain of the group's multinational customers were transferred to Concert on the same date.

Fixed network calls comprise calls within the UK and calls made from the UK to other countries. Receipts from other operators include revenues from Concert for terminating incoming international calls from 5 January 2000 and revenues from non-UK operators for incoming and transit calls into and through the UK up to that date.

The group's share of trading with Concert, primarily in respect of international calls made to and from the UK and for services provided to Concert in the UK for the multinational customers transferred to Concert, is eliminated in arriving at total turnover, including the proportionate share of the group's associates and joint ventures, and is added back in arriving at group turnover.
