MatthewBross先生曾任美国Williams通信公司总裁、首席执行官、首席技术官,前不久加盟英国电信并成为该公司的首席技术官。英国电信是英国的传统有线电信运营商,自1984年英国电信市场开放之后,一直是当地电信市场的龙头老大,并在全球电信市场显露锋芒。英国电信旗下有零售、批发、国际数据及IP、公众互联网等公司,还拥有与AT&T合资企业Concert破产后的全球资产,以及高级研发机构BTexactTechnologies。英国电信在2003年底与内容提供商Yahoo!建立联合品牌BTYahoo!,共同经营宽带和内容服务。20世纪90年代期间,英国电信在全球市场上取得的利益颇为丰厚,但是与国际上许多老牌有线电信运营商一样,在经历了前几年的危机之后,开始调整经营战略。在过去的两年中,公司渐渐淡出全球市场,而把精力集中在英国和欧洲市场,希望通过“21世纪网络”计划,重新组织网络结构和企业运作流程,致力于减少网络运营成本、加速新业务推出速度和改善公司形象;同时制定恰当的发展无线业务和信息通信业务的策略。本期专栏向您提供的是2003年8月ONDnewsletter采访Bross先生的访谈信息,希望读者能从中了解BT在公司发展、移动业务、网络改造、技术和业务创新等一些重要问题上的思想。
Mr. MatthewBross served as president, chief executive officer and chief technology officer of Williams Communications, Inc., shortly before joining BT and becoming the company’s chief technology officer. BT, the UK’s traditional cable carrier, has been a leader in the local telecoms market since the UK telecom market opened in 1984 and has shown its edge in the global telecommunications market. BT owns companies such as retail, wholesale, international data and IP, the public Internet, global assets after the bankruptcy with AT & T Venture Partners, and BTexactTechnologies, a senior research and development organization. BT set up a co-branded BTYahoo! With content provider Yahoo! in late 2003 to co-operate in broadband and content services. During the 1990s, BT had made huge profits in the global market. However, like many old cable operators in the world, after experiencing the crises of the past few years, BT started to adjust its business strategy. In the past two years, the company gradually faded out of the global market and concentrated on the UK and European markets. Through the “21st Century Network” plan, the company hopes to reorganize its network structure and business operation process, reduce its network operation costs and accelerate new Business launch speed and improve the company’s image; at the same time develop appropriate strategies for the development of wireless business and information and communication business. In this column, we are interviewed by ONDnewsletter in August 2003 for interviewing Mr. Bross. We hope readers can understand BT’s thoughts on some important issues such as company development, mobile business, network transformation, technology and business innovation.
