  • 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.

    ECC REPORT 143 Electronic Communications Committee (ECC) within the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) PRACTICAL IMPROVEMENTS IN HANDLING 112 EMERGENCY CALLS: CALLER LOCATION INFORMATION Lisbon, April 2010 ECC REPORT 143 Page 2 0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Each year in the European Union several millions of citizens dial the emergency call number to access emergency services. Due to increasing penetration of mobile telephony in the society, the share of emergency calls emanating from mobile networks is rapidly outgrowing emergency calls for fixed networks; this causes that an emergency situation mobile callers are increasingly not able to indicate the precise location for an optimum response. Similarly, VoIP services are substituting voice calls over traditional networks, customers increasingly use VoIP for emergency calls and expecting the same reliability and completeness of the emergency calls service. Location information is normally represented by data indicating the geographic position of the terminal equipment of a user. These data vary in range, indicating in a general way where the user is or very precise, pinpointing the user’s whereabouts to within a few meters. Some location data are effectively a subset of signalling data as they are necessary for setting up a telephone connection. In the framework of Enhanced emergency call services, the availability of location information must serve three main goals: Route the calls to the right emergency call centre; Locate the caller and/or the incident site. Dispatch the most appropriate emergency response team(s); The Report identify the most relevant regulatory principles applicable to caller location requirements in the context of emergency calls and analyses the location information standards produced by ETSI as a Standard Development Organization for fixed, mobile and IP communications networks.
