BT appoints convergence policy chief

BT will today appoint a former BBC employee as its first head of media and convergence policy.

The move comes as BT develops its BT Vision DTT-DSL hybrid television service and while Ofcom reviews the way it regulates pay TV services.

Simon Milner, a policy adviser at the broadcaster until 2005, is expected to be promoted to the role.

Milner said: "Convergence has been a hot debating topic for at least a decade. For BT and our customers, it's now a reality and it's generating policy conundrums which need tackling."

BT Vision doubled its subscribers to 150,000 in the final three months of last year.
