BT’s chief Executive, said: This is a genuinely unprecedented situation, where millions of citizens and businesses were at risk if TalkTalk had collapsed. BT is the digital backbone of the country, with a presence in every postcode.

我们当务之急是稳定业务，并为依赖TalkTalk的家庭和企业提供安全网。一旦监管程序结束，TalkTalk的客户将受益于接入英国最好的网络，以及BT提供的全面市场领先产品和服务。并且，随着时间推移，这笔交易将为我们的所有利益相关者——客户、同事、国家和我们的所有者——创造价值。
Our immediate priority is to stabilise the business and provide a safety net for the households and businesses who rely on TalkTalk. Once the regulatory process has been concluded, TalkTalk’s customers will benefit from access to the UK’s best network, and the full range of market-leading products and services that BT offers. And, over a period of time, the transaction will create value for all our stakeholders – customers, colleagues, the country, and our owners.
