T-Mobile and 3 enlist UK telecoms giant to provide high-speed base station connections.
The agreement - worth several hundred million pounds according to the FT - means British Telecom now has an arrangement in place with four of the UK's mobile operators.
BT Wholesale inked a deal with O2 back in May and Vodafone in April.
That leaves Orange as the odd one out.
Emin Gurdenli, technology director at T-Mobile UK, told the FT: "This agreement with BT will make sure backhaul [the backbone connections of the network] is not a constraint now or in the future at a time when T-Mobile is experiencing strong growth in mobile broadband and other mobile data services."

The limited bandwidth on Mobile networks has been a concern of mine and it's good to see that the networks are investing in increasing their bandwidth. I have also written a post on my Blog about this:
