BT Wholesale continued to report decline in its revenue with 12 % decline during the last quarter while its revenue from external sources dipped to £860 million ‘due to a decline of £97 million in low margin transit and premium rate services revenues (PRS), as well as reductions in broadband revenue of £54 million as a result of anticipated price reductions (£24 million) and volume decreases due to continued migrations to LLU (£30 million)’, according to the report.  The gross profit too fell by 13 percent to £380 million, mainly contributed by LLU migrations and price cuts announced lately by the ISP.
