Chile's VTR Leverages Nortel's Shasta for Broadband Flex

VTR, a broadband service provider in Chile, is using Nortel Networks' Shasta 5000 Broadband Service Node (BSN) platform for a new Broadband Flex service that allows customers to decide their connection speed (64, 300 or 600 kbps) every time they log on, and enable them to pay for only the time that they are connected. VTR is believed to be the first carrier offering such a broadband access speed choice. The Shasta cable solution VTR also supports additional, on-demand services like firewalls, VPNs (Virtual Private Networks), and content management.
