Tom Craig, president, IP Networking, BT Global Services, said: “A single integrated voice platform with MPLS enables customers to leverage the true benefits of globalization, avoiding the complexities and overheads of a patch-worked networking environment. The investment also allows BT to easily integrate all of its global networks to achieve improved cost control and customer integration to convergence”. [source]

The first phase of the program has been delivered, offering services over the new platform in 12 countries.

The new platform will be rolled out to three new countries per quarter while the legacy platform will be withdrawn in 2008.
