The future of computer/telephone integration
Publication Date: 10/06/97
Synopsis:
The largest international telecommunications fair in Asia began yesterday. Speaking at the fair was Mr Frank Blount, chief executive of Telstra, the Australian telecommunications giant. He said that it is increasingly likely that telecommunications groups will seek tie-ups with computer manufacturers, software companies and other non-telecoms companies.
Bill Gates, head of Microsoft, reinforced this view to a certain extent, saying that his company would be seeking partners to develop new telecommunications technology, in order for it to be possible in the future for computers to be plugged in to any phone system.
Deregulation of telecommunications in Asia has meant the creation of 80 new operators since 1990. In the past three years in Malaysia the ratio of cellular phones to population has increased by 601%. Thailand has more mobile telephones that the whole of the former soviet Union and Eastern Europe. In Cambodia, fixed line service subscribers are outnumbered by cellular subscribers.
Telstra and IBM are in discussions over a joint venture to provide a complete communications package to customers in Australia and south-east Asia.

BT to offer virtual private network in Hong Kong
Publication Date: 02/06/97
Synopsis:
British Telecom will become one of the first foreign operators to launch a VPN (virtual private network) service in Hong Kong, the intended launch is planned for next month. The move follows the WTO (World Trade Organization) accord on telecoms in February. Hong Kong agreed to deregulate VPNs and issued 14 licences last week.
The licence holders will be able to offer multinationals and corporations a tailored network for global calls and data transmissions. For those operators offering VPNs, Hong Kong could be a very lucrative market as it has over 2,000 multinationals. Hongkong Telekom will be hit hard by the deregulation, no longer will it be in a monopoly situation as regards VPNs.
This may just be the start for British Telecom, as liberalisation continues, the company will expand it's services, for example it may introduce low-congestion Internet for companies or value-added VPNs for data, voice and video transmission over the same links.
