What happens when access to advanced AI models is no longer the real differentiator, and the true advantage lies in how businesses leverage their own data? At the AWS Summit in London, I sat down with Rahul Pathak, Vice President of Data and AI Go-to-Market at AWS, to unpack this question and explore how organisations are moving beyond experimentation and into large-scale generative AI adoption. Recorded live on the show floor, this conversation explores how AWS is supporting customers at every layer of their AI journey. From custom silicon innovations like Trainium and Inferentia to scalable services like Bedrock, Q Developer, and SageMaker, AWS is giving businesses the infrastructure, tools, and flexibility to innovate with confidence. Rahul shared how leading organisations such as BT Group, SAP, and Lonely Planet are already applying these tools to reduce costs, speed up development cycles, and deliver tailored experiences that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. A key theme that emerged in our discussion is that data, not just models, is the true foundation of effective AI. Rahul explained why unifying data across silos is critical and how AWS is helping companies create more intelligent applications by connecting what they uniquely know about their business to powerful AI capabilities. We also addressed the operational realities of AI deployment. From moving proof-of-concept projects into production to meeting the growing demand for responsible AI, the challenges are shifting. Organisations are now focused on trust, security, transparency, and measurable value. If you're leading digital transformation and wondering how to scale AI solutions that deliver on business outcomes, this episode provides practical insight from someone at the center of the industry. How will your business stand out in a world where every company has access to AI models, but only a few know how to apply them with purpose?

Podcast with Steve Allcock, Customer Solution CTO, BT Group Enterprise Connect 2025 – Orlando “We're reaching a point where the network is now the computer,” said Steve Allcock, Customer Solution CTO at BT Group, in a revealing podcast recorded live at Enterprise Connect 2025. Speaking with Doug Green of Technology Reseller News, Allcock explained how BT's new Global Fabric platform is redefining how enterprises, carriers, and cloud players build, scale, and secure their digital operations. From Infrastructure to Intelligence BT's Global Fabric—a global, software-defined, as-a-service network architecture—has quietly gone live, already spanning the majority of the world's cloud-native facilities. Built over the past two years with significant investment, Global Fabric connects cities and sites worldwide in minutes with 100Gbps pipes, delivering agility, automation, and orchestration at unprecedented scale. “In a time when many telecoms are scaling back, we're doubling down on innovation,” said Allcock. “This is the foundation for growth—not just for BT, but for any enterprise with global ambitions.” Designed for the AI Era Global Fabric isn't just about high-speed links. It's been purpose-built for AI. “Our customers need infrastructure that can support the power, responsiveness, and regulatory complexities of AI deployments,” Allcock emphasized. He explained how the explosive growth of large language models (LLMs), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and inference at the edge is putting extraordinary strain on networks and data centers—prompting unprecedented CapEx from hyperscalers. In fact, some global firms are tearing down newly built data centers just to rebuild them with liquid cooling to meet AI's intense power demands. CPaaS, Agentic AI, and Global Reach Allcock also spotlighted BT's work with the CPaaS Acceleration Alliance and global collaboration platforms like RingCentral and Zoom. By partnering with CPaaS innovators and offering BT's network APIs to intelligent agents and AI workflows, BT is paving the way for a more automated, AI-aware communications landscape. “We're entering the era of the human user interface—where instead of clicking, you just tell the system what you want,” said Allcock. “BT's Global Fabric is ready for that world.” Want to Learn More?

In this episode, host Raghu Nandakumara sits down with Tristan Morgan, Managing Director Cyber Security at BT Group, and Mark Hendry, Digital Services Partner at Evelyn Partners to discuss DORA regulations and compliance in the financial services sector. They discuss the interplay between regulatory standards like NIS2 and DORA, the importance of proportionality and operational resilience, and the broader adoption of principles such as Zero Trust. Learn more on how to achieve DORA compliance: Illumio.com/dora--------"If you did a search on DORA and looked for the word segmented, ss in micro-segmentation, instantaneous severing of elements of the network in order to contain and what have you, it's in there. It's absolutely in there. So, you just need to know what you're looking for and you'll find it. And Zero Trust will evolve. It might evolve into a different name or a different set of characteristics that we seek to achieve, but DORA should last. And we might find terms like Zero Trust start to pop up in regulatory technical standards or implementing technical standards that accompany it, but it's absolutely in there because it's such a good way to protect our organizations from harm, the types of harm that we've talked about." - Mark "If you were to build something completely separate and ask all businesses to comply with something that was different, not only would there be significant cost, I think actually you get much greater resistance. Whereas, these regulations like DORA actually build upon industry-recognized best practices that many businesses are already adopting to a degree, and it actually is sensible, but it also makes the barrier to compliance less." - Tristan--------Time Stamps (04:22) Current cyber threat landscape (11:02) Operational resilience and cyber resilience(12427) Compliance and regulatory standards (15:22) A historical look at compliance (25:58) The tipping point for the EU to prioritize operational resilience(36:48) What differentiates DORA from other legislation? (44:24) The role of Zero Trust within DORA  --------SponsorAssume breach, minimize impact, increase resilience ROI, and save millions in downtime costs — with Illumio, the Zero Trust Segmentation company. Learn more at illumio.com.--------LinksConnect with Tristan on LinkedInConnect with Mark on LinkedIn

London's FTSE 100 has plunged this morning as a horde of blue chips slid on their second-quarter results, while the backdrop of a continued US tech sell-off lingers. Lloyds Bank shares dropped at the open despite it reporting a solid set of first-half results, with all the other banks following suit and trading lower. Profits at the UK's largest lender came in slightly ahead of forecasts and the interim dividend was hiked by 15%. Rentokil, the pest management service, was one of the largest fallers after management trimmed profit guidance due to extra investment. Nevertheless, its interim results showed progress in North America, a key area of investor concern after it caused last year's profit warning. British Gas owner Centrica was the FTSE 100's biggest faller in the early hours of trading after its profits tumbled as gas prices normalise and the effects of the bumper earnings made last year begin to wash through. Stripping those exceptional gains out, profits still halved to £1 billion, from £2.1 billion, but the British Gas owner upped its interim dividend by 13%. Others with results out included Vodafone and BT Group, both of which slipped lower, while Unilever rallied on improved margins despite missing its sales guidance. #proactiveinvestors #marketreport #ftse #ftse100 #footsie #lloyds #rentokill #centrica #britishgas #vodafone #unilever #btgroup #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Have you ever wondered how small businesses can streamline their payment processes without investing in additional hardware? This episode brings exciting news for entrepreneurs and small business owners looking to modernize their payment systems with minimal hassle.

John Gutch delves into how this service offers a competitive 1.4% transaction fee and ensures funds are available within 48 hours. This move addresses a significant pain point for small businesses—handling payments on the go or remotely. With early positive feedback from diverse sectors like driving instructors and food trucks, the BT Tap to Pay app is proving to be a game-changer. Join us as we explore how BT's innovative approach through its Etc. incubation arm is not only simplifying payment processes but also pushing the boundaries of what's possible with emerging technologies. From converting old broadband cabinets into EV charging stations to continuously learning and evolving, BT is at the forefront of tech innovation.

In this episode of The 5G Factor, our series that focuses on all things across the 5G ecosystem, we review key 5G ecosystem developments including recent deft moves by top-tier communications service providers (CSPs) such as BT Group and ServiceNow expanding their relation to vastly improve the CX and workforce experience, Vodafone Germany and FlyNex taking to the drone skies, and Altice using the Google Cloud Application Integration architecture to surmount legacy-borne complexity. Our analytical review drilled down on: BT Group ServiceNow Strengthen Relationship to Elevate CX. BT Group and ServiceNow expand their strategic relationship to improve customer and workforce experiences. The multi-year agreement will extend ServiceNow service management capabilities to all BT Group units to drive savings, efficiency, and improved customer experience. BT Group will also use ServiceNow Service Bridge for an automated connection between BT and its customers and plans to pilot ServiceNow's Now Assist for Telecom Service Management (TSM) to power GenAI capabilities for internal and customer-facing teams. We delve into why this deal uplifts BT's AI credentials and validates ServiceNow's market momentum in the CSP space, executing on ServiceNow Chairman and CEO Bill McDermott's vision of embedding intelligence across every workflow to accelerate the digital transformation of key customers such as BT.  Vodafone Germany and FlyNex Take to the Drone Skies. Vodafone Germany and data collection company FlyNex have launched DroNet Hub, a comprehensive online platform to help businesses plan and manage commercial drone flights. The new ‘DroNet Connect Stream' tariff comes with a high-speed data volume of 500GB (gigabytes), optionally expandable to 1 TB (terabytes), ensures a consistent transmission of live data from the drone directly to the Hub. Data from the mobile network is also integrated, to help understand the connectivity and population density that lies ahead on a flight path. We examine why the DroNet Hub all-in-one platform, that includes planning, organizing the flight, and automated data collection and reporting, represents an innovative breakthrough in CSP support and delivery of drone services. Altice Enlists Google Clouds Application Integration to Tame Complexity. Altice Group, through the validation process of Altice Labs, is spotlighting that the introduction of Application Integration has proven especially effective in managing the complexity of its business processes and operations consisting of a growing number of legacy components and intricate workflows overseen by an enterprise service bus. Application Integration is Google Cloud's Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) that automates business processes by connecting any application, including home-grown and third-party SaaS, with an intuitive interface that enables the building of intricate flows, data mapping, and the streamlining of operations with pre-built tasks and triggers. We assess how the new architecture manages APIs for Altice systems including CRM, identity management, shopping carts, plus modules supporting the customer journey, billing, and usage charging as well as efficiently interworking with components for operations, OSS/BSS platforms, service quality, and call centers.

There is a continued expectation that the Bank of England ("BOE") will be cautious in lowering interest rates, unlike during past rate-cutting cycles. Bloomberg and Reuters reported concerns about inflation reaccelerating if rates are lowered too quickly due to past downturns such as those in 1998, 2001 and 2008. Markets are currently pricing in the first interest rate cut in August of 0.25%, followed by another potential cut in November.Stocks featured:BT Group, Experian and Sage GroupTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management's own commentary on markets.

pWotD Episode 2529: Premier League Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.With 147,890 views on Thursday, 4 April 2024 our article of the day is Premier League.The Premier League is the highest level of the English football league system. Contested by 20 clubs, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the English Football League (EFL). Seasons typically run from August to May, with each team playing 38 matches: two against each other team, one home and one away. Most games are played on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, with occasional weekday evening fixtures. The competition was founded as the FA Premier League on 20 February 1992 following the decision of First Division (top-tier league from 1888 until 1992) clubs to break away from the English Football League. However, teams may still be relegated to and promoted from the EFL Championship. The Premier League takes advantage of a £5 billion television rights deal, with Sky and BT Group securing the domestic rights to broadcast 128 and 32 games, respectively. This deal will rise to £6.7 billion for the four seasons from 2025 to 2029. The league is projected to earn $7.2bn in overseas TV rights from 2022 to 2025. The Premier League is a corporation managed by a chief executive, with member clubs acting as shareholders. Clubs were apportioned central payment revenues of £2.4 billion in 2016–17, with a further £343 million in solidarity payments to EFL clubs. The Premier League is the most-watched sports league in the world, broadcast in 212 territories to 643 million homes, with a potential TV audience of 4.7 billion people. For the 2018–19 season, the average Premier League match attendance was at 38,181, second to the German Bundesliga's 43,500, while aggregated attendance across all matches was the highest of any association football league at 14,508,981, and most stadium occupancies are near capacity. As of 2023, the Premier League is ranked first in the UEFA coefficient rankings based on performances in European competitions over the past five seasons, ahead of Spain's La Liga. The English top-flight has produced the second-highest number of European Cup / UEFA Champions League titles, with a record six English clubs having won fifteen European championships in total. Fifty-one clubs have competed in the Premier League since its inception in 1992: 49 from England and two from Wales. Seven of them have won the title: Manchester United (13), Manchester City (7), Chelsea (5), Arsenal (3), Blackburn Rovers (1), Leicester City (1) and Liverpool (1); the two Manchester clubs hold the distinction of having won three titles in a row, while six clubs have avoided relegation: Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:35 UTC on Friday, 5 April 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Premier League on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Nicole Standard.

In this episode of The 5G Factor, our series that focuses on all things 5G, the IoT, and the 5G ecosystem as a whole, we review the early market inroads and impact that Telco GenAI is delivering. The major takeaways consist of BT Group using Amazon Q's coding companion, Amazon Code Whisperer, to provide GenAI coding assistance to its software engineers, Amazon and Microsoft combining Amdocs amAIz platform and Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service to bring verticalized GenAI to telcos, and the debut of the Qualcomm Snapdragon X80 5G Modem-RF system that integrates a dedicated 5G AI Processor and 5G-Advanced-ready architecture to achieve key breakthroughs across NB-NTN satellite communications, 6-antenna architecture for smartphones, 6X carrier aggregation, and AI-based mmWave range extension for FWA CPE. Our analytical review spotlighted: Amazon CodeWhisperer Shows BT Group Early Benefits. At MWC24, BT Group announced that it deployed Amazon Q's coding companion (Amazon CodeWhisperer) to provide generative AI coding assistance to its software engineers. Specifically, Amazon CodeWhisperer generates code suggestions ranging from snippets to full functions in real time in the customer Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The solution is already providing 15-20 suggestions of code per active user per day for BT Group, with an acceptance rate of 37% by its software engineers who are using the platform. We see this as an encouraging example of the value, efficiency, and support generative AI can offer to a communication service provider (CSP) organization.   Amdocs and Microsoft Ready GenAI Specifically for CSPs. Amdocs expanded its strategic alliance with Microsoft to further bring verticalized GenAI capabilities to the telecommunications industry, combining Amdocs amAIz platform and Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service. The duo has established a dedicated lab and center of excellence to further productize GenAI capabilities with the goal of accelerating adoption of GenAI technologies for CSPs. The collaboration is designed to bolster business outcomes by combining deep expertise in the communications industry with GenAI technology and industry verticalization that can produce carrier-grade business outcomes. Amdocs has built Customer Engagement Platform, which includes multiple copilot products, including sales, order enrichment, care, proposals, and other key functions, like configure price quote (CPQ), which we view as integral to providing an interconnected GenAI-infused experience across the entire CSP organization. Qualcomm Snapdragon X80 Ties Together AI and 5G Progress. During MWC24, Qualcomm unveiled its new Snapdragon X80 5G Modem-RF System. The offering features new AI innovations based on a dedicated tensor accelerator to improve data speeds, latency, quality of service (QoS), coverage, location accuracy, spectrum efficiency, power efficiency, and multi-antenna management. it integrates a dedicated 5G AI Processor and 5G-Advanced-ready architecture to achieve what we see as several important industry milestones, including the first 5G modem with fully integrated NB-NTN satellite communications support, 6-antenna architecture for smartphones, 6X carrier aggregation, and AI-based mmWave range extension for fixed wireless access CPE.

He sits on the Corporate Partnerships Board at Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity.Marc's top leadership tip:"Don't think about your hierarchical structure as a typical pyramid. Turn it upside down. Me and my leadership team are there to serve our 25m customers, and our colleagues in the business. And that's how we try and behave, how we try and spend our time – the most important people in our business are those who speak to customers directly, whether that's in our stores or contact centres. That's a really important mindset that I've tried to get myself and our teams into. We are in service of our colleagues and customers. Forget the 'pyramid'."Socials:Twitter and Instagram:@marcallera@EELinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marc-allera-b61754/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

pWotD Episode 2419: Premier League Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.With 204,972 views on Saturday, 16 December 2023 our article of the day is Premier League.The Premier League is the highest level of the English football league system. Contested by 20 clubs, it operates on a system of promotion and relegation with the English Football League (EFL). Seasons typically run from August to May, with each team playing 38 matches against all other teams, both home and away. Most games are played on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, with occasional weekday evening fixtures. The competition was founded as the FA Premier League on 20 February 1992 following the decision of First Division (top-tier league from 1888 until 1992) clubs to break away from the English Football League. However, teams may still be relegated to and promoted from the EFL Championship. The Premier League takes advantage of a £5 billion television rights deal, with Sky and BT Group securing the domestic rights to broadcast 128 and 32 games, respectively. From 2025–26, this deal will rise to £6.7 billion. The league is projected to earn $7.2bn in overseas TV rights from 2022 to 2025. The Premier League is a corporation managed by a chief executive, with member clubs acting as shareholders. Clubs were apportioned central payment revenues of £2.4 billion in 2016–17, with a further £343 million in solidarity payments to EFL clubs. The Premier League is the most-watched sports league in the world, broadcast in 212 territories to 643 million homes, with a potential TV audience of 4.7 billion people. For the 2018–19 season, the average Premier League match attendance was at 38,181, second to the German Bundesliga's 43,500, while aggregated attendance across all matches was the highest of any association football league at 14,508,981, and most stadium occupancies are near capacity. As of 2023, the Premier League is ranked first in the UEFA coefficient rankings based on performances in European competitions over the past five seasons, ahead of Spain's La Liga. The English top-flight has produced the second-highest number of European Cup / UEFA Champions League titles, with a record six English clubs having won fifteen European championships in total. Fifty-one clubs have competed since the inception of the Premier League in 1992: 49 English and two Welsh clubs. Seven of them have won the title: Manchester United (13), Manchester City (7), Chelsea (5), Arsenal (3), Blackburn Rovers (1), Leicester City (1), and Liverpool (1). Only two of them have won three titles in a row (Manchester United and Manchester City), while only six clubs have been ever-present and avoided relegation: Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:18 UTC on Sunday, 17 December 2023.For the full current version of the article, see Premier League on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Brian Standard.

Today's guest is Ben Clinch, Head of Information Architecture for BT Group .  Ben joins Seth Earley and Chris Featherstone to the discuss the rapidly evolving world of data science in organization. Takeaways:An intriguing aspect is the common practice of Large Language Models (LLMs) utilizing generic data models Ben and Seth discuss more effective ways to harness the power of LLMs through specialized data models and organization.Companies will realize quickly that they cant do any sensible Generative AI without a core of useful referential data to utilize, train and not hallucinate.If people lean on Generative AI, that accelerates things rapidly, but all it does is deferring knowledge to somebody else's data model.Some people ask if we really need a data model.  Can't we just get an industry standard view and follow that?  Do you want to buy an org chart?  Do you want to defer how you structure your teams to somebody else's view of how you should?  This may be a good starting point, but a terrible ending point.What is the ROI on data modeling?  Think of data as an asset for your organization, and think of people as an asset for your organization.  Everybody from the chairman to the guy sweeping the floor understand an org chart. They understand you have to organize your people.  Otherwise, there will be involuntary anarchy.Quote of the Show:“Taxonomy is a chart of accounts for knowledge" - Seth EarleyLinks:LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/benclinch/Website: https://www.bt.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/BritishTelecom Ways to Tune In:Earley AI Podcast: https://www.earley.com/earley-ai-podcast-home Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1586654770 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5nkcZvVYjHHj6wtBABqLbE?si=73cd5d5fc89f4781 iHeart Radio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-earley-ai-podcast-87108370/ Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/earley-ai-podcast Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/18524b67-09cf-433f-82db-07b6213ad3ba/earley-ai-podcast Buzzsprout: https://earleyai.buzzsprout.com/ Thanks to our sponsors: Marketing AI Institute CMSWire Earley Information Science AI Powered Enterprise Book

Embedding ESG considerations by design is an imperative - and this must be from the network up! In this special we explore the vectors of ESG change, especially around Sustainability, from opportunities to challenges, notably the intention-action gap regards awareness and actualisation, alongside complexity, and lack of consistency and comparability in measurement. To explore exactly this, I am delighted to be joined by Sarwar Khan, Global Head of Digital Sustainability at BT Group who was recently placed 25th in the Corporate Knights Global 100 list of the world's most sustainable companies 2023.

Jim Davies, CFA, Procurement Finance Director at BT Group, shares his experience addressing the thorny issue of measuring procurement savings.

In this series will be talking all things Talent Sustainability, with a focus for this episode on a very important component Employer Branding and EVP. Join us as we chat with Paul Bhangoo, Global Employer Brand & Attraction Manager at BT Group. BT Group (Digital and Technology) recently won the Recruitment Innovation Award at IHR Awards 2022. When we hear the term net zero, I think a lot of us assume it relates to environmental targets, but what do we mean to talk about a Net Zero approach to Talent? Its means aiming for zero waste throughout the talent pipeline and lifecycle, by enabling true career mobility and building sustainable talent ecosystems. This means reimagining how we attract, hire, reskill and redeploy talent, to optimize the skills of all our people. We ask Paul what the difference is between EVP and Employer Branding and why it is important to differentiate between the two. Paul brings more than 20 years of experience in the recruitment Marketing, employer branding industry. HostsGeorgia Byrne, Enterprise Sales Director at ManpowerGroup Georgina Huntley, Talent Director at ManpowerGroup In this podcast Paul points out that there are some blurred lines around what people see the true definition of EVP. “They misinterpret it for employer brand, and that's not just a BT specific problem, or challenge, I think it's, it's an industry wide problem”We explore- how customer brand perception and candidate brand perception are becoming harder to differentiate and need to be more aligned.- How we talk about EVP to different generations within the business particularly Gen Z- How we manage graduates' expectations around DE&I, their impact on what they do and the organisations commitments to their development.Visit https://talentsolutions.manpowergroup.co.uk/ to learn more about Talent Solutions Consulting, Talent Solutions RPO, TAPFIN and Right Management.

每日英語跟讀 Ep.K336: About UK - London's smallest microflat sells for 80% above asking price   A 7-square-metre microflat, cramming in a bed, toilet, shower, sink and a microwave tucked under the pillow, has sold for 80% above its minimum listing price at £90,000. 一間7平方公尺的微型公寓，以比開出的底價高80％的9萬英鎊售出；這間微型公寓塞進一張床、廁所、淋浴間、水槽和一台收在枕頭下方的微波爐。 The microflat, located in a Victorian conversion in Lower Clapton, east London, is believed to be the capital's smallest-ever property, marking a turn towards tiny homes driven by the UK's housing crisis of soaring rent and property prices. 這間位於倫敦東區下克萊普頓維多利亞時代建築改建的微型公寓，據信是這座首都歷來最小的房子，代表英國租金和房價高漲的居住危機，帶動轉向迷你住宅的趨勢。 The apartment had a minimum price at auction of £50,000, but sold at 80% higher at £90,000. 這間公寓的拍賣底價是5萬英鎊，卻以高出80％的9萬英鎊賣出。 It was bought for £103,500 in May 2017. But the owner has already recouped their investment by receiving £800 a month in rent. 屋主在2017年5月以10萬3500英鎊購入，但這筆資金已透過每月收取800英鎊租金回收。   Next Article   Topic: 英國數千座紅色電話亭將不被淘汰 Thousands of red UK phone boxes to be protected from closure   Britain's iconic red payphone boxes may look like obsolete relics in an age of ubiquitous smartphones, but regulator Ofcom said they can still be a "lifeline" for people. 在智慧型手機隨處可見的時代，英國標誌性紅色付費電話亭或許看似過時產物，但英國通訊管理局說，這些電話亭也可以成為人們的「生命線」。 Ofcom is proposing rules to prevent 5,000 call boxes in areas with poor mobile coverage from being closed down. It said that phone booths in areas considered accident or suicide hotspots, and those that have had more than 52 calls made from them in the past 12 months, would also meet the criteria. 英國通訊管理局正提出新規定，避免手機普及率較低地區的5000座電話亭被關閉。該局說，常發生意外或自殺事件的地區，以及過去12個月撥打次數超過52次的電話亭，都符合留存標準。 BT Group says nearly half of the phone boxes in the U.K. have been removed due to the growth of the mobile phone industry. It said more than 6,500 call boxes have so far been converted into mini community libraries, art galleries or storage units for public defibrillators under a plan called "Adopt a Kiosk." 英國電信集團表示，由於行動電話產業的成長，英國近半數電話亭已被移除，另有6500座在「認養一座電話亭」計畫下，被改造成小型社區圖書館、藝廊或放置公用去顫器的空間。Source article: https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1507341 ; https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1500928

Britain is fortunate in having fast broadband available to 95 percent of the population, thanks to the extensive reach of Openreach’s FTTC network. But that’s not true fibre broadband. In this first edition of the Total Telecom Podcast Phil Dobbie explores how, until now, the large-scale expansion of full fibre networks has been delayed as the BT Group, understandably, squeezes what they can from their broadband investment. Now the tables have turned, with CityFibre amongst the players now building full fibre networks across the country. But isn’t there a danger of overbuild, with multiple providers destroying the viability of each other’s business case? On the podcast you’ll hear from: - Katie Milligan, MD Customer, Commercial and Propositions at Openreach - Telecoms analyst Benoit Felten from Diffraction Analysis - Mark Collins, CityFibre’s Director of Strategy and Public Affairs

The BBC Trust, the governing body of the BBC, has published its response to last week's government green paper on the BBC Charter Review. The review will look at, amongst other things, how the BBC should be governed and regulated - with many thinking the new charter will spell the end of the Trust. In her first interview for The Media Show, Trust Chair Rona Fairhead discusses her vision for the future of the BBC, her involvement in the recent licence fee deal, and the legitimacy of the BBC's governance system.A new book, Innovators in Digital News, looks at how some news organisations - some old, some new - are succeeding with digital news. Drawing on first-hand research inside organisations, it explores how The Guardian, The New York Times, Quartz, BuzzFeed and Vice approach the field. Steve Hewlett talks to author Lucy Kung about how clear strategies and strong leaders are winning combinations that are enabling new digital brands to take on 'old stalwarts' to win the attention of online news audiences. As part of its once in a decade review of the UK digital communications market, OFCOM is considering whether BT should be completely separated from Openreach. Openreach, currently an infrastructure division of the BT Group, is responsible for looking after the fibres, wires and cables, providing wholesale access to broadband and telephone lines. Other providers like Sky and TalkTalk claim it provides poor service and that it gives BT an unfair advantage. BT is strongly opposed to a split saying it would threaten further investment in the network. Steve is joined by Matthew Howett, telecoms and technology analyst from independent consultancy Ovum.

The view from the top of business. Presented this week by Stephanie Flanders, The Bottom Line cuts through confusion, statistics and spin to present a clearer view of the business world, through discussion with people running leading and emerging companies. This week, Stephanie and her panel of top executives discuss hyperconnectivity - the idea that there are more devices in use around the world than there are people actually using them. How do the panel cope with the sheer mass of incoming information, and devices to carry it? Does more technology mean better communication, or just less time to think? They also talk about the role of intuition in making important decisions. Is there still room in modern business for the good old-fashioned hunch, or do decisions these days always need to be backed up by solid analysis? Stephanie is joined in the studio by Dominic Taylor, chief executive of payment services company PayPoint; Rita Clifton, chairman of branding consultancy Interbrand; Sir Michael Rake, chairman of telecoms company BT Group. Producer: Ben Crighton.
