Interesting comments from Sidgmore on wireless in a Bloomberg article today on British Telecom: British Telecom could use its existing wireless assets and is also ''always looking'' for additional opportunities to expand its wireless operations. British Telecom owns 60 percent of Cellnet, the U.K.'s second-largest mobile phone operator. It also has stakes in a variety of mobile phone operators in Europe and Asia, including Viag Interkom in Germany, and Telfort in the Netherlands. While British Telecom wants to sell wireless services to large companies around the globe, rival MCI WorldCom Inc. has said it doesn't think wireless is critical to winning corporate customers. John Sidgmore, chairman of the U.S.'s No. 2 long-distance phone company, said in a recent interview that mobile phones generally aren't key to corporate decisions on telecommunications strategy. MCI WorldCom is interested in getting radio spectrum licenses to establish wireless links to connect its networks to individual buildings, however.
