Vodafone Preps Broadband Product
Posted: 11th Sep, 2006 By: MarkJ
Vodafone has today announced the signing of a new IPStream broadband deal with BT Wholesale. The move is a prelude to the operators launch of a combined mobile and broadband package based on BT's existing national infrastructure:
Vodafone expects to launch this new proposition, which will complement its existing mobile services, before the end of the year.
This partnership enables Vodafone's customers to benefit from bundled packages of mobile and broadband services nationwide, due to BT's unique footprint in the UK.
Nick Read, Chief Executive of Vodafone UK, said: "Today's announcement is a strategically important step in the evolution of Vodafone's business in the UK. Choosing BT as our partner enables us to provide high quality fixedline broadband services to customers quickly and cost-efficiently right across the UK, and this perfectly complements our national mobile coverage and mobile broadband service.
"This news is further evidence of Vodafone delivering on its strategy and providing its customers with a total communications solution wherever they are."
Paul Reynolds, Chief Executive of BT Wholesale, says: "Today's announcement by Vodafone builds on BT Wholesale's unique capability to deliver strategic, managed solutions for our customers across the industry. It's also an excellent example of how BT's range of capabilities in communications can be deployed, in partnership with our wholesale customers, to enable them to bring choice, quality and value to their customers in the competitive, converging world of the 21st century."
The move is hardly a surprise with rivals Carphone Warehouse and Orange breathing down their necks through similar products.
Unfortunately it's far too early for any package details, although more information is likely to slip out soon.
