QSC to launch its own mobile services
Cologne, May 23, 2011. QSC AG, a provider of services for voice and data
communication and ICT services, now plans to offer mobile services under
its own name. To facilitate this, the company has signed a partnership
agreement with Düsseldorf-based E-Plus Group. QSC will commence marketing
during the third quarter of 2011.
The mobile offering will address both business customers as well as QSC's
marketing partners who specialize in business customers. The planned mobile
contracts will offer cost-effective flat rates to all German voice
networks. Moreover, the services will also include flat rate plans for
mobile data communication. Customers will be able to choose whether they
want to utilize only the mobile rates with SIM card or would also like to
procure mobile end-user devices from QSC. With this move, the company is
responding to the rising customer demand for one-stop shopping for fixed
network and mobile services.
'Following the acquisition of IP Partner AG and INFO AG as specialists for
IT services, the inclusion of mobile services makes our comprehensive
portfolio of ICT services all but complete,' is the way QSC CEO Bernd
Schlobohm explains the partnership that has now been forged with the E-Plus
Group. 'The perfect interplay between mobile and fixed-network
communication, will additionally afford us any number of opportunities for
new and innovative product ideas.'
