British Telecom (BT) keeps telling its staff that it is striving to become "TOP TELCO". This implies that it is not top telco yet. SO......... Just who is the world's top telco? AT&T??? following the break up? NTT in Japan?? Cable & Wireless ??? Tony Harding MNEMATICS lamont!mneuxg!6675 CIS 71330.2266@compuserve.com Dialcom 82:TSG630 BIX uktony BBS 0489 583232

Siemens is the TOP TELCO. [Moderator's Note: Oh yeah? Informal poll time. What say you others? Send in replies; if I get enough I will make a Digest out of them. PT]

Exactly what we asked ... and there doesn't seem to be a definate answer. How do you measure "success" anyway - profit/market share/size of network ???? This Digest has a wide readership - how about someone from every country posting stats on their PTT and getting someone to compile tables so that we can come up with an answer to this one for a few categories. Anyone volunteering to collate results ? When this subject was first brought up I think that the answer most generally agreed upon was that Erricsson were probably top at the moment. Any comments anyone ? -Pete French. | "The rhythm's gone, British Telecom Research Labs. | The radio's dead.
