BT Signs Spanish MVNO Agreement

The UK based BT Group has signed an MVNO agreement with Vodafone Spain to launch a mobile network aimed at businesses and the public sector. The MVNO offering will be available in the summer and will allow BT to offer its customers mobile services or fixed-mobile convergence. BT will be able to offer its customers a single supplier for all their networked IT services requirements - with one contract, one bill and one integrated customer support function

Luis Alvarez, chairman of BT Spain, said: "Convergence is the new paradigm of services our customers demand. We are delighted to be able to meet their requirements now that we are able to offer mobility services to complement our existing portfolio. This announcement gives BT the ability to accelerate the roll-out of innovative mobility services, most important of which will be enhanced functionality on our ground-breaking fixed-mobile convergence service, BT Corporate Fusion that launches in Spain this summer."

Rakesh Mahajan, BT's Global Director of Mobility, said: "Across the globe, modern business is increasingly mobile - with employees needing simple, secure, reliable access to information and resources whether they are travelling, at home or in the office. This agreement with Vodafone Spain means that our corporate and government customers in Spain can come to us for all of their mobility needs.

"This announcement exemplifies our global commitment to offer our business and public sector customers a comprehensive suite of services that span fixed networking, IT and fixed communications, as well as mobile voice, messaging, mail and even company-specific applications."
