I think posting anything that is relevant to BT is important!
BT Sport does not rely only on subscriptions but on ad hoc sport fans who pay to view these sporting events.

BT Sport has been developed and has become a brand and everything comes at a cost but
is a success and making good money for the company.
BT is now a versatile company, not just a communications company!

From telecoms to broadcasting, broadband to data,mobile to fibre to the premises,
research and development, pay to view etc.

BT is a growth company and it will grow year upon year with new products added to its portfolio.
BT share price is justified to be 560p and maybe 700p-800p in 2 years time or longer depending on the economy in the UK after Brexit!

Good old Morgan Stanley, I'm now less than 10% down on my BT holding! Should I be celebrating this?

Christh - I take it when you say 'good revenue' you are referring to the revenue from the subscriptions to BT Sport? Remember BT has paid out huge sums of money to the Premier League, the FA and UEFA for the rights to televise these matches. Individual football matches will not pay for my dividend, the overall success of the BT Group will. I don't think there is any need to post details of matches BT Sport are televising on this forum.

Christh - why are posting details of football matches on this forum?

The football matches are a great success for BT Sport which will be screening them.
They are great matches and is good revenue for BT as a whole.
They are not football matches but business for BT.
BT Sport is a succesful business venture for BT and any sporting event that is succesful will pay for your BT dividend.

I work for BT so I'd like to see them go up. Will have to see if it goes to 560. It's gone up to 4 pounds and everyone is jumping.


Go and do some work then, do not stand around posting in here.
I expect you to improve your skills and work harder otherwise you will get a bad APR
and might not get a pay rise this year.
So when it goes to 560p you will be doing Somersaults, LOL


My pension depends on you!

BT chairman blasts critics for wanting to separate Openreach network


He said it would be counter-intuitive to break up the firm just as BT embarks on further upgrades for Openreach, which develops and maintains the UK's main telecoms network used by telephone and broadband providers such as Sky, TalkTalk, Vodafone and BT Consumer.

Speaking on the sidelines of an event where he signed a new military covenant reaffirming BT's commitment to the UK's armed forces, Sir Mike told the Press Association: "We're hopeful to reach a solution. As I have said, we have invested £10 billion over the past 10 years. Without us there would be nothing."

"Those who have criticised us were not willing to support fibre take-up when we started the investment. We have 95% (of the UK) covered with super-fast broadband. By 2020 we'll have a much higher percentage of 97% or 98%," he said.

"I think common sense says, why would you do something to damage a great British company that is investing in the future and can complete that investment?"

The telecoms watchdog said that it would take formal proceedings with the European Commission to force BT to legally separate its Openreach network arm after it said plans to appease competition concerns fell short.

Competitors including TalkTalk chief executive Dido Harding said in November that Ofcom's plans for legal separation were a "step in the right direction".


Sir Mike's comments were made at BT Tower where he lauded the company for being one of the country's largest employers and supporters of army reservists and ex-armed forces personnel.

"I see it as part of our responsibility to communities we work in," Sir Mike said.

He said BT has "come a long way" over the last eight or nine years and will continue to challenge competitors like Sky - which is the target of an £11.7 billion takeover bid by Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox.

"We'll continue to compete. All we ask for is a level playing field, particularly from a regulatory point of view as Sky becomes part of a much larger organisation."

Sir Mike, who is expected to step down this autumn after a decade at BT, previously served as president of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), and was easyJet's chairman, as well as a non-executive director of Barclays.

When asked whether he was worried over the possibility of the UK leaving the EU's single market following the Brexit vote, he said the business community was "absolutely clear" that it would have been better to stay in the EU.

"We were the 'sick man' of Europe in 1975 when we joined the European Union and all the growth that we have had has been part of a 550 million (consumer) market where 45% of our exports go."

He added: "It's obvious that the business community and those organisations would like to remain in the single market, even if we're outside the European Union. And whether that's possible or not depends on the negotiations that take place."

Virgin surprises market by hopping into bed with BT for MVNO love-in
10 Jan 2017 at 16:19, Kat Hall

Virgin Media has surprised the market by signing a five-year deal with rival BT to use EE's network.

The Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) deal means BT's EE will provide wholesale mobile network services to Virgin Media, a subsidiary of Liberty Global.

Virgin Media has been relatively late to the 4G market, having only launched its service in November, also giving customers the ability to "roll over" unused data. It currently has 3 million subscribers.

EE has the largest 4G network in the UK, with BT owning a total 42% of the spectrum currently available.

The deal covers voice and data services and replaces an existing MVNO wholesale agreement between the two companies.

However, that contract predated BT's £10.5bn acquisition of EE, which has bolstered the former state monopoly's "quadplay" offering (the marketing term for broadband, line rental, TV and mobile). Virgin is also desperate to enter that space.

Windsor Holden, analyst at Juniper Research, said the deal will be a blow for Three, which had been in the running for the contract.

"There was a feeling that Virgin might not have wanted to go in with a competitor. No doubt Virgin had done some cost benefit analysis of the situation. On the minus side BT will know more about Virgin, but on the plus side there will be less bureaucracy in changing providers and clearly thought its network was more attractive."

Kester Mann, principal analyst at CCS Insight, agreed. "It is interesting that such close rivals in quadplay entered this wholesale deal."

He noted that the deal was similar to Sky Mobile's recent wholesale launch with O2, BT's main rival in the TV space.

But Matthew Howett, telecoms analyst at Ovum, said that while the deal might seem "counter-intuitive", there were many reasons why it was a good fit.

"Sky's MVNO deal with O2 meant that was clearly off the table. And Virgin and BT have been aligned from a policy point of view in both not wanting to see a full separation of Openreach."

Peter Kelly, managing director of Virgin Media, said the deal will give it more "firepower" in the UK mobile market.

Gerry McQuade, chief exec of BT Wholesale and a founding member of Virgin Mobile, said: "[We] are very pleased to renew and extend our 17-year-old relationship. As the largest wholesale provider of telecommunications services in Europe, BT values the economy of scale that Virgin Media brings to our network."

sadly you do not qualify for anything.


I hope you take the opportunity to buy now because this is heading to over 500p
but in the short term will tank around 450p.

It's one of the top shares for 2017!

Remember it has fallen from 502p to 443p so the hedge funds and other institutions manipulated the market to buy cheap.
So it is now time to push up to maybe 560p this year!

And teamwork1, this is not wishful thinking but its a market realisation!
