BT to offer broadband and TV in UK landline package

BT was planning a new market push today after British regulator Ofcom allowed it to include broadband and television as part of a landline package for the first time.

The scrapping of the ban on landlines in BT’s discounted ’bundled’ deals ends the last major element of regulation imposed on BT 25 years after the firm - which has 14 million landline customers in the UK – was privatised.
