Need to update the BT Business Units:
BT Internal Business Units changed in 2007: BT Exact more or less equates now to BT Design, the old BT Wholesale is now labelled BT Operate; the new BT Wholesale is now about wholesaling and is the smallest internal unit. BT Retail and BT Global Services remain pretty much as before.
