BT has placed itself in relatively unique position for a telco, it has credibility in the IT services market from an offerings point of view as well as delivery.
This makes it very unique when compared wih AT&T, Telstra, NTT and others. It is not perfect, but three indications of this success include the following
Ability to provide strong credible people within the organisation - an example of this is the appointment of Andy Green to the position of CEO elect at LogicaCMG
Leadership in the hosting space
Ability to engage successfully away from a usually regulated domestic market
For a range of reasons I do not really consider at this stage the threat of the Telco's to be too much more than potential, they have to change dramatically before they can consider themselves genuine long term threats to established players let alone the emerging market providers. At least BT is showing it can have some impact
