MOBILE ACCESS TO THE INTERNET NETWORK |
| In January,
EuroTel Praha, in cooperation with EUnet, the leading
European provider for connections to the Internet
network, has prepared a new item for its customers - the
EUnet Traveller service. EUnet Traveller is a unique service that enables mobile telephone owners world-wide to connect to the Internet network. Currently, EUnet provides a complete spectrum of Internet network services in 42 countries around the world, of which 29 states are connected by means of the EUnet Traveller service's special access point (among others, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, the United States, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Great Britain). With the EUnet Traveller service, a mobile telephone owner pays no monthly fees for access to the Internet, only an activation fee and rate per minute for using the access point and for the data connection between mobile telephones and the access point. Since a client from a country with a EUnet Traveller access point pays only local fees, he can save during connections that last several minutes - in comparison with ordinary international rates - up to several hundred crowns! With just one user name and password, the owner has access to a personal e-mail account, WWW pages, FTP services for transferring data files, and News discussion groups! And finally, in January, EuroTel is offering free activation of the EUnet Traveller service, with only the normal fee of 300 KΦ! The conditions for using the EUnet Traveller service are a GSM mobile telephone with a data interface, an activated SIM card with a cellular number for voice and data, activated international roaming, and a notebook computer or other devices and software that enable communication with Internet network services. The EUnet Traveller service is functional immediately after its activation, which can be done by contacting EuroTel Praha's Customer Service Department by telephone, fax, or mail (tel. 02/6701 6701, 0800 1 80011, or *11 when calling directly from a mobile telephone). EuroTel Praha Ltd, is a joint venture of SPT TELECOM Inc. (51%) and Atlantic West B.V. (49%). Altantic West B.V. is a company that is equally owned by BellAtlantic(NYSE:BELL) and US WEST International, which is a part of the US WEST Media Group (NYSE:UMG).
