A little like oom really from my point of view - I believe they are the favoured company within their sector and despite the markets - Oftel and the G3 nonsense they will climb back. They pay a divi and this wioll be seen to be increasingly important in the days to come. They have new management and are looking to enhance shareholder value .....

I hold and swing trade a few and not adverse to intraday trading them.

BT in web-based investor relations drive

London, February 7 2003, (netimperative)



by Chris Lake

BT is launching a web-based scheme which it hopes will improve communications with its retail shareholders and help cut costs.


Dubbed 'ShareholderPlus', the system allows investors to sign up and receive BT communications - such as reports, news releases, mandates and, subject to a change in the law, electronic tax vouchers - by email, rather than by post.

BT said this will help it achieve cost savings - by not having to print and despatch reports - and pointed out that it is also good for the environment.

Furthermore, it has negotiated a number of deals with companies such as Virgin Wines, Apollo Travel, RSA and National Car Rental, to market the service and said it will add new offers in the future if it proves to be a success.

BT claims to be one of the first FTSE100 companies to launch such a programme, though it is likely that more will follow.

Yes we are not far from 50p at the present rate of decline

this one has been stuck in a downtrend from 15 goodfella, wanna call a bottom for it? Doyou really think it'll stop falling at 50p?

jesus wepped

Not sure there is much to be gained by crowing - anyone can come on and say a share has fallen - after the event ..... so what ..... hardly makes you into a legend

jesus wepped ......

Markets and the sector are both down lots - its seems probable that BT will follow the trend - no magick or casting of the runes are needed

Markets round-up: FTSE 100 slumps to 7-1/2 year low

LONDON (Reuters) - The FTSE 100 has ended lower for a fifth straight session, taking the market to a 7-1/2 year closing low as banks slumped and concern grew that a war with Iraq might be days away.
Britain and the United States have said Iraq must disarm by March 17 or face war.

The FTSE 100 .FTSE index ended down 55.6 points, or 1.6 percent, at 3,436.0 points, its lowest level since July 1995. The move also takes the market to less than half of its all-time high of 6,950.6 in December 1999.

"We're so close now to whatever is going to happen with Iraq that the markets are moribund. The high oil price is squeezing economic growth and we're getting poor numbers out of the UK, U.S. and Europe," said Stuart Fraser of fund managers Brewin Dolphin.

However, Fraser said he did not expect the market to fall significantly further, a sentiment echoed by David Franklin, director and fund manager at Christows Stockbrokers.

"I actually find it encouraging in a contrarian way that everyone is bearish at the moment. It means everyone is out of the market. Anyone who is going to sell has gotten out already."

Is heading for 130p and could be a good time to get in at this level although of course we could go lower perhaps as low as 100p but I cannot see that happening for a while yet..

Trader ainsey,

your track record is wonderful - have you been topping up since 240p? Adding to your core holdings? Do you know what a stop loss is??? LOL!

F

Fugitive/dreamer do you really lead such a sad life that you have to spend it spamming all my threads .... try enic and THT or FDBK ..... duh

I have never 'topped up' in my life and have never used such a phrase or trading strategy ...... sounds just like the words you use on advfn .... any chance you wil return there ..... please

LOL! sorry ainsey, can't help it - you have often used the word "adding" to your "long term holdings". Sorry, you are just a joke. Your track record is an absolute disaster. Do you know what a stop loss is??? You were buying at 155 or was it 160, no wait there it was 170, no I am mistaken, it was 190 - well for the benefit of traders with no track record, perhaps you would give us guidance on where we should set a stop.

F

do stop being silly and find some thing to do with yourself .... I have to complete the ENIC acceptance forms - nice 60% gain :-))

LONDON (AFX) - BT Group PLC today launched another strand of its broadband internet offensive, designed to add 100 mln stg of revenues in the next two years.
BT's Home of Possibilities services will offer customers low cost home monitoring and break-in alerts, computer networking, music and X-Box games.

"At the heart of our vision of the Home of Possibilities is the idea that there's more to an internet connection than just access to the web," said Angus Porter, managing director of BT's consumer unit.

BT wants to grow its 'always on', broadband internet network to 5 mln customers by 2006 from an estimated 1 mln.

BT offers home security for broadband users

BT has created new online services, including home security and education, for its broadband customers
BT has embarked on a campaign to promote new broadband services for home users.

The additional services include a house security system, networking for multiple-computer homes, a portable radio that pulls broadcasts off the Internet, the launch of Microsoft's Xbox Live games console, and online education.

These services are expected to generate 100m in extra revenue by 2005 for BT, which faces increased competition in a telephony market showing paltry growth.

BT says it is on target to hit one million broadband users by the middle of this year, but it hopes such services will help get it to a further goal of five million subscribers by 2006.

To dramatically boost the numbers in a country that once lagged on broadband among wealthier nations, BT cut wholesale prices for fast digital subscriber lines to less than 15 a month last April, bringing its retail price down to 27.

"The price of broadband is unlikely to change dramatically," Angus Porter, manager director of BT Consumer, told reporters at a news conference. "The issue is going to be whether the services that broadband can unlock justify (the price)."

Following recent moves by retailers Tesco and Carphone Warehouse into residential phone services, BT appears to be turning the tables. Starting at 28.50 a month for three years, BT said it would also sell home computer systems to time-constrained or less-technically able people, as well as installation, service and support.

The new Internet radio, due for launch in mid-2003, will sell for 160, while equipment to connect two home computers to one broadband line will cost just under 250 when launched this month.

A home monitoring system, which will allow home owners to receive text messages or have neighbours phoned when alarms go off, will sell for 300 with 12 months service from May.

Porter said such applications were already possible, but BT wanted to earn its money by making them simple to use.

Subscriptions for the BT Learning Centre cost 4 a month, and the Xbox Live console will go on sale on Friday.

BT will also be boosting its phone bill by allowing its click & buy online payments service users to put charges on their BT bill starting next month, which gets around the need to give out credit card details on the Internet.

It's now down a whole pound since you starting buying you IDIOT!!!
