Modernisation: It's one of our biggest priorities for BT – and our customers – today. To modernise business, we need to start with its foundation, and future-proof the nation’s infrastructure from the ground up. For nearly 150 years, businesses up and down the UK have relied on BT’s networks to keep them connected. The UK's copper telephone network was among the world’s first, and now it’s time for a new digital network to take over. I had the privilege of witnessing this shift firsthand when I joined Openreach engineers recently, and saw old analogue copper wires side by side with new fibre cables. It felt like I was seeing history and the future in one place. The transition from analogue to digital is not just an upgrade; it's a transformation. That’s why it’s imperative for businesses of all sizes to move to the next phase. I'm proud of the role we will play in this, as we go from old to new together and keep the UK at the forefront of the digital frontier. Read more:

Building those foundations making it solids before the framework and inferstucture is placed, ensuring we always reflect and appreciate just how far we have modernised, not everyone travels at the same speed so we need to help and support those that need help on how to adapt, grow and evolve into a new Digital A.G.E that’s why our digital innovation skills hub is working to inspire and empower those around our communities and regions not only in our uk but on a global scale, so much technology services, products and smart tech is being introduced but lalloeing others to learn in a simplied and fun way is the foundation on how that is achieved. #FlyingHighBT 💥🚀💥 #DISH #foundations #communications #support #values #purposedriven #adapt #grow #evolve #AGE

Brilliantly put across! Exciting times ahead for BT and the UK's digital future! Witnessing the shift from old copper wires to new fibre cables with Openreach engineers I am sure was a remarkable experience. Having read the article, I am living what you may have witnessed without actually being there. Proud to be part of BT's journey in leading the charge towards a more connected and innovative future!
