Telecoms group BT is flexing its green muscles by telling half a million of its most "internet friendly" customers they must "opt in" to receive paper bills.

Telecoms group BT today said it had reached a broadband milestone a year early as it reported a 4% rise in pre-tax profits.

Telecoms group BT unsettled investors today after a “milestone” $1bn (€771m) deal rekindled memories of its last disastrous foray in the US.

Telecoms group BT was today being linked to a surprise return to the US market after a report said it was about to make a $1bn (€771m) acquisition.

Telecoms group BT could be broken up under plans being considered by Britain's industry regulator Ofcom, it was reported today.
