  • Tele2 Is Europe´S Leading Alternative Telecom Operator Offering a Wide Range of Products to Consumers Across Europe
    ERG Kista 25 January 2008 Response to ERGs draft Common Position on symmetry of fixed/mobile call termination rates Tele2 is Europe´s leading alternative telecom operator offering a wide range of products to consumers across Europe. Tele2´s most important products are mobile telephony and broadband but the company also provides fixed telephony in a number of countries. Tele2 welcomes the opportunity to provide its comments on ERGs draft Common Position (CP) on symmetry of fixed/mobile call termination rates. General As a general remark on the draft CP Tele2 would like to point to the fact that before the question of symmetry regarding termination rates becomes relevant and a potential issue a NRA first must come to the conclusion that at least two operators in a specific country are considered holding SMP-position on their individual networks. This is due to the fact that price regulation of any kind can only be decided as a remedy following a finding of SMP- position according to Article 13 of the Access directive. Court judgments across Europe (e.g. in the UK, Finland and Ireland) show that an SMP assessment is not a mechanical process where the fact that an operator per definition holds a 100 percent market share on the individual market at hand can be used as a sole argument for the conclusion that the operator also holds a SMP-position in the market. The existence of customers with a strong negotiating position, which is exercised to produce a significant impact on competition, will tend to restrict the ability of providers to act independently of their customers.

  • Telenet Has 600,000 Fixed Line Customers
    PRESS RELEASE Telenet has 600,000 fixed line customers Mechelen, 11 September 2008 – Today Telenet recorded its 600,000 th fixed line customer. The success of Telenet in the area of fixed line telephony is chiefly the result of solid innovation power and well-thought out product development: Telenet was the first company in Belgium to introduce flat-fee phone formulae to the market with FreePhone and FreePhone 24. Last week Telenet launched FreePhone Europe as part of the new Shakes. With 600,000 customers Telenet now has a penetration of nearly 25% of the Flemish market. Approximately one in four Flemish families makes a call using a Telenet fixed line. “The fixed phone line continues to be popular with the middle-aged and seniors”, emphasises Dann Rogge, Director of Product Marketing Telephony and Internet at Telenet, “but we are now seeing an increase in the number of young families opting for a fixed line again. Comfort, operating certainty and a low price are the deciding factors in their decision to go for a fixed line. Young families want to be able to reach each other "as a family" at all times, and they want to be able to do so at an attractive price. That’s not possible with just one subscription for a mobile phone, because at the end of the day a GSM is a very ‘individual’ device and significantly more expensive than a fixed line phone". New phone product: FreePhone Europe. On 8 September the new Telenet Shakes were launched. FreePhone Europe has been introduced for all combinations with a phone product.

But while consumers can select from an ever-growing Cvariety of legal services, illegal streaming services have emerged in their shadow, leveraging stolen content and off-the-shelf streaming technologies to deliver entertainment at a fraction of the cost of legitimate content providers. The most virulent and fast-growing illegal streaming enterprise is the pirate subscription Internet Protocol Television (PS IPTV) Service. This type of service mimics the practices of legitimate streaming services. It charges by the month or by the year – typically, about $10 - $15 per month. And for that low price, it provides the customer with thousands of channels of linear television from around the world, and often with tens of thousands of titles for video on demand, including movies still showing in theaters and every episode of entire TV series.
