BT and
InTechnology have today announced a new five year agreement under which
BT will provide the operator with high-bandwidth voice and data services, delivered over its next generation network, 21CN.
The deal with
BT will allow InTechnology to significantly extend the reach of its existing Ethernet coverage in the UK, rising to 600 nodes by spring 2009 - the largest geographical footprint in the UK for Wholesale Ethernet.
InTechnology will also use
BT's Wholesale Broadband Managed Connect service (WBMC) to provide 'up to' 24Mbps (ADSL2+) broadband services to UK businesses currently outside of its Ethernet footprint.
It's hoped the agreement will bring high-speed data services, together with the cost efficiencies of
BT's 21CN platform, to 87% of UK businesses.
