BT pensioner here, looking forward to drawing my pension for many decades, glad the pension scheme is getting healthier. Shares are an ongoing disappointment.

£4billion less Pension Fund deficit?

1. The funding deficit at 30 June 2023 is GBP3.70bn, down from GBP7.98bn at the 2020 funding valuation following GBP4.36bn of deficit contributions

2. Annual contribution amounts remain unchanged, at GBP600m in each financial year until 31 March 2030, and a final payment of GBP490m before 30 April 2030. In addition, BT Group will continue to make payments of GBP180m each year under the asset-backed funding arrangement agreed at the 2020 valuation

A bit of tweak here and there...and move/shuffle the icons...

It's clever marketing same as Apple. They could give you the whole lot in the first place but then you wouldn't buy the next version.

Why does Microsoft have to bring out new softwares...market cap approaching $3 trillion...would it work without Telco infrastructure...

AI and driverless cars

We shall look back and laugh at these scams.
Information and computer systems are not that important.
We waste so much time looking at computer screens.

We could manage quite well without them.

How do you build a house, grow food, care for the sick, cook our food, make clothes, cars or aeroplanes.

Quite the reverse, there will be a counter revolution.
Those living in Gaza will not be helped by AI. food medicine and shelter...the basics.

The efficiency saving will pay for pension deficit. Also AI will replaced the head count. All positive apart from labour gov cloud who do not like profit and Prosperous UK PLC.

If Drahi wants out, he'll do a deal with the Germans at his stake money. They are seriously underwater with the price they paid for BT. Question is, why is only PI's that average down, what do billionaires and institutions know that we don't?

If he sales to strong bidder look for 160p +

[isis] 10/11/2023 11:02

You simply could not sell such a large stake in the market, it won't happen.

At worst he would arrange an auction to sell some or all of his stake, which may even go for a higher price than the market price!

[action] 10/11/2023 10:58

If forced to sale bt stack look for 99p
