TELECOMMUNICATIONS giant BT took its first big step back into the mobile phone market as it launched a new business service aimed at delivering fixed line and mobile calls to the same handset.
It currently has just 1 per cent of the corporate mobile market but said it now plans to grow "aggressively".
The BT One Phone service is designed to ensure businesses never miss a call. IT will install private mobile phone networks at business sites to provide fixed line quality coverage for a handset that will be able to be taken out and away from the building by employees.
It plans to launch a mobile phone business for the wider public by the end of the current financial year.
