Téléphonie mobile: nouvelle alliance paneuropéenne - sunrise renforce sa position sur la scène internationale

Zurich (ots)

Neuf grands opérateurs européens de téléphonie
mobile ont annoncé aujourd'hui la création d'une nouvelle alliance.
Dans un premier temps, particuliers et utilisateurs commerciaux
bénéficieront, dans toute l'Europe, de services vocaux et de données
élargis. Outre sunrise, les membres fondateurs sont Amena (Espagne),
O2 (Allemagne, Grande-Bretagne et Irlande), ONE (Autriche), Pannon
GSM (Hongrie), Telenor Mobil (Norvège) et Wind (Italie).
La nouvelle alliance scellée hier à Munich englobe plus de 40
millions de clients et se concentrera, au début, sur les marchés
nationaux des membres fondateurs. Le rapprochement vise
l'introduction rapide, à l'échelle internationale, de produits et de
services novateurs ainsi qu'une collaboration dans la technologie,
l'approvisionnement et la vente.
«Grâce au nouveau partenariat, nos clients pourront utiliser les
services avec la même simplicité, en Suisse comme à l'étranger. De
plus, l'alliance représente une plate-forme idéale pour les clients
commerciaux présents sur la scène internationale et désireux de
proposer des prestations compétitives dans toute l'Europe», a déclaré
Gert Rieder, COO sunrise Mobile, lors de la signature du contrat.
Accès simple et convivial aux services à l'étranger
Le développement de l'alliance prévoit un élargissement à de
nouvelles régions clés pour permettre aux clients d'utiliser, où
qu'ils se trouvent, les services auxquels ils sont habitués. Les
membres de l'alliance répondent en cela au besoin des utilisateurs de
pouvoir faire appel, chez eux comme à l'étranger, à des offres de
qualité.
Au sein des réseaux partenaires, les clients bénéficieront d'une
gamme de prestations introduite par paliers, notamment dans le
domaine de l'accès aux services GPRS et MMS. L'accès simplifié par
sélection abrégée à sa propre boîte vocale ou au service clientèle de
son propre opérateur constitue également une nouveauté conviviale.
L'alliance innove en outre en matière de prépaiement. Désormais, les
clients Prepaid pourront en effet aussi recharger leur crédit de
conversation à l'étranger, de manière simple et rapide.
Les clients commerciaux bénéficieront en particulier de
l'introduction de plans tarifaires et de produits compétitifs, qui
garantiront un accès simplifié et transparent aux services de
l'ensemble du réseau de partenaires. Pour permettre aux clients de
reconnaître aisément les membres de l'alliance et les services
correspondants hors de leur pays d'origine, les futures prestations
proposées seront pourvues d'une marque distinctive.

Wind
WIND Telecomunicazioni SpA has instigated radical changes in the
services on offer Italy and in the way it is marketed, with the aim
of establishing new market standards: the integration of telephone
services, the development of the Internet, a global response to the
communications needs of people and businesses.
The Wind Group's brands focus on specific types of service: the
"Wind" trademark is applied to mobile and convergent services, the
"Infostrada" brand to fixed-line telephony, whilst "Libero" is the
brand used for the Group's Internet services, and itNet supplies ad
hoc Internet services and content for corporate customers. Wind was
the first to launch MMS and the video over GPRS handsets.
WIND was the first in Italy to launch a trading on line service
via WAP. New technologies such as WAP and GPRS, and the future
i-modeTM and UMTS make a substantial contribution to the creation of
new services and applications. Wind offers a particularly wide range
of data transmission and Internet services, capable of satisfying the
needs of all segments of the corporate market.
In February 2001, WIND became the first alternative operator of
fixed-line telephony in Italy to provide access to local loop
unbundling, offering the possibility to make fixed-line calls without
the need to pay line rental. WIND was the first Italian operator, in
May 2002, to launch Number Portability.
The Wind Group has chalked up other firsts: from its over 18,000
km of optical fiber backbone and 2,300 km of metropolitan area
networks in over 30 cities, to Italy's leading portal with 600
million page views a month. The Company also boasts a widespread and
innovative mobile network with about 6,000 base transmission
stations. Overseas coverage is provided by numerous roaming
agreements.
At June 30, 2003, Wind boasted a total of 30.6 million customers,
including 7.5 million fixed-line customers (of which 3.3 million
active), 9.2 million mobile users and 13,9 million Internet
