Commenting on today's announcement, Philip Jansen, Chief Executive, said

"The security of our networks is an absolute priority for BT. Clearly this decision has logistical and cost implications for communications providers in the UK market - however, we believe the timescales outlined will allow us to make these changes without impacting on the coverage or resilience of our existing networks. It will also allow us to continue to rollout our 5G and full fibre networks without a significant impact on the timescales we've previously announced. Whilst we have provided our initial view on the estimated impact today, we will continue to evaluate the details of this decision thoroughly."
