London, March 30 (Bloomberg) -- Michael Dell, chief executive
of Dell Computer Corp., the biggest direct seller of personal
computers, has criticized British Telecommunications Plc for
delays in introducing high-speed Internet services, the Times
reported, without citing sources. Dell met with BT Chief Executive
Sir Peter Bonfield and Gordon Brown, the U.K. chancellor of the
exchequer, during a visit to London four weeks ago. Dell also said
BT's trial high-speed Internet service, which costs 50 pounds
($80) a month, is much more expensive than in the U.S., the Times
reported.
Dell said yesterday Thomas Meredith was leaving his position
as chief financial officer for a new role as managing director of
Dell Ventures, and being replaced by James Schneider.
