BT has set out its global vision predicting strong growth in the US, Japan, India and China, with revenues from these markets expected to double by 2008/9.
The company also said that it is targeting turnover of one billion Euros in both the Italian and German markets during the same period.
In addition, BT said that it is to launch a new service called Corporate Fusion in early 2007. This is for large organisations enabling them to take advantage of fixed-mobile convergence and their increasing deployment of IP telephony and WiFi coverage.
Leeds City Council have today been confirmed as the first major triallist of the service.
BT will also be expanding its global network, BT Global Services, with its chief executive, Andy Green, saying: “BT Global Services is thriving. We have transformed the division into a leading supplier of networked IT services based on the most extensive and resilient network in the world.
“We have very ambitious plans and BT’s brand is fast becoming as familiar to businessmen in New York, Tokyo, Mumbai and Shanghai as it is in Europe.
“BT’s corporate business is an increasingly important part of the company’s growth strategy. Our diversification into global networked IT services sets BT apart from other telcos.”
BT also revealed that it is currently adding a new city to its MPLS network every week and connecting over 3,000 customer sites a month.
