UK public sector revenue was up 6 percent or GBP 17 million year-on-year to GBP 285 million, from GBP 268 million. UK carrier revenue was down 5 percent to GBP 349 million, from GBP 369 million, as the market was hit hard by the recession which drove down wholesale call volumes by around 5 percent. Meanwhile, total global revenue was down 7 percent to GBP 552 million in FY 2009/2010, from GBP 592 million a year earlier, reflecting the general fall in international voice traffic and a managed reduction of low margin international voice contracts, partially offset by growth in data products in both the global carrier and enterprise markets. Global enterprise revenue was up 2 percent from GBP 181 million to GBP 184 million, with global carrier revenue down 10 percent from GBP 411 million to GBP 368 million.
