T-Mobile and BT Wholesale have announced a new agreement that sees BT link
thousands of T-Mobile's base station sites around the UK to the T-Mobile
network. The contract, potentially worth several hundred million pounds over
the next five years, will deliver T-Mobile a cost-efficient and flexible
next generation service to support its growth plans and help avoid any
investment risk in building out its own capability.
BT will connect thousands of T-Mobile's base stations around the UK to the
central T-Mobile network. Leased lines will be used to connect these sites
at first before an Ethernet-based service is introduced.
The new Ethernet service will further enhance the delivery of access and
backhaul services to T-Mobile. It will be designed and built to be fully
compatible with BT's 21st Century Network (21CN), the most advanced next
generation network (NGN) in the world.

Which begs the question, if thousands of T-Mobile's base stations
aren't connected to the T-Mobile network, which network are they
connected to?

Not necessarily, in Scotland many mobile sites use thus, it is quite common
for one mobile company to have their own link to a site (probably because
they were first to build on that site) and other companies use that though
perhaps just back to a larger site where they can connect to their main
network.

Certainly during the One2One days, the base stations were connected using
the Cable & Wireless/Mercury network. This probably made sense as One2One
(Mercury Personal Communications) was a C&W/MediaOne joint venture before
they were taken over by T-Mobile.
O2 used the least microwave links to connect to the backhaul due to having
been previously owned by BT - this gave them easy access to BT fibre, etc.

There's also the timeslot issue. It may well be that if 2 or 3 networks
share a single site in a remote area like the Highlands, they can share a
single 2Meg PCM link. One single network may well not need 30 timeslots, but
a couple of networks sharing the cost and responsiblity of the link, could
fill one up quite nicely.
