As of June 2026: Backing the venture to scale Verizon's enterprise reach

BT spent about 18 months trying to sell its international arm. On June 29, 2026, it found a different exit: a 50-50 joint venture with Verizon that pools both carriers' global enterprise networks into one $4 billion business. Verizon pays BT $625 million for equal voting rights, and the combined company will serve more than 3,000 corporate clients across 180-plus countries.
