BT Teams with Vodafone for Fixed/Mobile Links

BT and Vodafone UK announced a partnership to offer fully-converged fixed-mobile services. The link-up with Vodafone UK reinforces and builds upon BT's presence in the business and consumer mobile markets by extending the benefits currently available to BT's mobility customers. The deal enables Vodafone UK to maximize its network and service assets while generating additional revenue from a new source.



BT said its customers would benefit from true fixed-mobile convergence by not having to carry multiple devices, look up mobile address lists on different phones, or use more than one voicebank or phone number. The same personalized services will be available to them, whether they are connected to a fixed network or on the move. The company said its goal is to generate around £1 billion of annual mobility and convergence revenues in five years. http://www.btplc.comhttp://www.vodafone.com
