Abstract

General British Telecom awards £200 million contracts. Following intense international competition, STC Telecommunications and GPT‐GEC Plessey Telecommunications have been selected as suppliers for the nationwide extension of British Telecom's fibre optical network. Each will receive orders worth more than £100 million. The two companies are already supplying equipment to BT for the first phases of the network, known as Flexible Access Systems (FAS), which will eventually provide Britain's business community with the most advanced communications network of its kind.
