No, BT made the "interesting" decision of deliberately selling off it's 
mobile operations. (Probably because they were losing money hand over 
fist, like the rest of BT always has...)

My mum's knowledge is basically

- How BT does business.
- How to install wired analogue telephone systems.
- How to perform diagnostics on wired analogue telephone systems.

I'm not sure how much of that would be relevant to mobile phone network 
technology. I'm also not sure how many staff the mobile operators 
actually employ in the first place, for that matter...
