BT obtient une licence d'infrastructure
Article Abstract:
Having already received a national licence to provide their service to the Belgian market, British Telecom (BT) Belgium obtained, on June 3 1998, a second licence to install a public telecommunications network. BT will invest over BFr 400mn in the coming months in order to develop their Belgian network. They also intend to recruit 250 employees, and to triple their turnover (BFr 2.2bn) over the next three years. Part of the new installation will be used by the paneuropean network formed by BT and European partners. It is also expected that such a comprehensive licence will enable BT to extend their service to the whole of the Belgian business community. *
