BT on track to meet fibre build target, and annual guidance

LONDON: BT, Britain’s biggest telecoms group, said it would meet its target of reaching 25 million British homes with its full fibre network by ‌the ⁠end ⁠of December, as it reported flat quarterly revenue and reiterated its annual guidance.

CEO Allison Kirkby called it a “solid start” to the year, a quarter during which she announced a joint venture with ⁠Verizon to combine ‌the pair’s international enterprise operations, allowing BT to fully focus ⁠on its home UK market.
