FYI-BT<BT.L>sees year 2000 costing around 300 mln stg LONDON, May 20 (Reuters) - British Telecommunications Plc <BT.L> said on Wednesday that ensuring its systems were compliant with the new millennium date change would cost the company around 300 million pounds. BT told a news conference that its compliance programme, which it began in 1995, should be complete by the end of this year. The so-called "millennium bug" problem arises because computer systems with a two-digit date field recognise year 2000 as year 1900 or another default date like 1980. The problem may also affect machines that have embedded chip technology. ((London newsroom, +44 171 542-7987 fax +44 171 583-3769, uk.equities.news@reuters.com)) REUTERS Rtr 10:57 05-20-98
