British Telecom

   <company> (BT) The largest telecommunications provider in the
   UK.

   Due to regulatory issues, BT had to sell off its interest in
   McCaw Cellular.  BT sold it to {AT&T} for something like 4B$.
   BT then invested that in {MCI}.  As a part of the deal, MCI
   was given BT North America, which was the old {Tymnet}.  MCI
   laid off about 40% of the Tymnet staff.
