So this was the edit that introduced the offending copy. Fob.schools (talk) 09:36, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have a COI, as an employee, so can't do it myself - but it would be fab if someone could restore the article - minus the identified copyrighted text - rather than leaving this rather embarrassing state of affairs. I'm sure this page gets quite a few views. Cheers, Gricehead (talk) 21:20, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

BT's complicity in clandestine GCHQ operations

[edit]

Among the many documents released during the Edward Snowden revelations of 2013 it was revealed that BT and other telecommunication companies had been cooperating with GCHQ by deploying clandestine monitoring outposts in Oman and Yemen, among other things. Shouldn't these be included under the controversies heading? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mark63424 (talk • contribs) 11:12, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

[edit]

I can't see why this couldn't be slimmed down and absorbed into the main BT Group article. The other current divisions no longer have articles and this one doesn't warrant a full article. Cloudbound (talk) 17:16, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Other divisional articles still do exist to be fair - it’s just not been moved from BT Enterprise to BT Business (which itself has an article that represents the previous, and now defunct, BT Business division). Josh (talk) 09:50, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support – Can’t think of a good reason to keep these separate, especially when BT Enterprise, for example no longer exists. Adriazeri (talk) 17:44, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
