It's being done by BT Retail, who buy the lines from BT Wholesale same as everyone else does and set their own call rates.
The provision of the numbers is done by BT Wholesale, not retail, so the two are not connected with one another, the deal from Retail and the provisioning and charging of the numbers at the other side.
Any operator could do this so long as they are prepared to take the hit, which Retail and in turn the rest of BT are.
Retail will continue to pay Wholesale for these calls as normal, they just won't charge their end user for them. Same for other people using the numbers, they'll get their cash as per normal.
