FRANCE: 9 TELECOM DATA TRANSMISSION OFFER FOR FIRMS

Article Abstract:

9 Telecom targets a wide scope of small and medium firms (from very small companies to companies with a staff of 500) with a new data transmission offer. The offer, supposed to meet their high-speed requirements, is based on France Telecom's TurboDSL service which supplies its customers with a guaranteed throughput. The French carrier, which keeps promoting its frame relay offer (9 Frame Relay) for companies with over four sites, expects to increase its customer portfolio to 50,000 companies (of which data transmission should account for 20%) instead of 20,000 today. The offer will be available in 500 cities and towns by 25 February 2001 (in the Paris area and other regions easy to connect to 9 Telecom's backbone network), worth one half of the market of companies in France.
