BT has reorganised its multinational services operation into a dedicated division within the group, fuelling further speculation about its future.
Funnily enough, it is called BT International, and when it comes to the global stage it repositions the UK incumbent as what it calls an asset-light, platform-rich service provider.
The launch confirms a Financial Times report in May that claimed BT was preparing to carve out its international assets into a new unit.
"Our customers face unprecedented disruption across their markets driven by geopolitics, regulation and technology – with AI catalysing change faster than ever," said Bas Burger, who was previously head of BT's international activities within BT Business, but has now been appointed CEO of BT International.
"We have designed BT International specifically to help our customers meet these challenges head on and anticipate future opportunities to thrive," he said.
