T-Mobile and BT Wholesale have announced a new agreement that sees BT link
thousands of T-Mobile's base station sites around the UK to the T-Mobile
network. The contract, potentially worth several hundred million pounds over
the next five years, will deliver T-Mobile a cost-efficient and flexible
next generation service to support its growth plans and help avoid any
investment risk in building out its own capability.

BT will connect thousands of T-Mobile's base stations around the UK to the
central T-Mobile network. Leased lines will be used to connect these sites
at first before an Ethernet-based service is introduced.

The new Ethernet service will further enhance the delivery of access and
backhaul services to T-Mobile. It will be designed and built to be fully
compatible with BT's 21st Century Network (21CN), the most advanced next
generation network (NGN) in the world.
