About BT.A

BT Group is the incumbent telecommunications operator in the U.K. It is the owner of Openreach, the largest fixed-line network in the U.K. Openreach operates as a separate entity due to regulatory requirements but is still 100% owned by BT. Since 2020 Openreach has accelerated its fiber investments and expects to have 90% of the U.K. covered with FTTH by 2026. In the consumer division, BT has approximately 30% market share in broadband and mobile services. The enterprise segment serves large corporations while the global services division provides communications consultancy services.
