The enlarged Telefónica Europe Group is helping O2 towards its push to moving beyond mobile into fixed broadband and converged services.
We are already seeing evidence of this such as the launch of DSL in Germany. Here, O2 is the only provider of integrated communication services in Germany to offer
mobile, fixed voice and fixed internet services. O2 DSL customers get one monthly bill, backed by a single customer service number and competitive monthly charges. Customers can choose from three different DSL packages and will receive a discount if they are also a mobile contract customer of O2.
Detailed information about O2 Business DSL is available on the hotline 0800/338 88 33 or on the Internet at http://www.o2online.de/, in the business customers area.
O2 is also providing a number of converged fixed / mobile offers in the Czech Republic and, O2's recent launch of broadband in the UK, coupled with our partnership with Telefónica, will help speed up this shift and enable us to draw on their considerable strengths whilst maintaining in-country market needs and dynamics.
