Some Global IP Telephony News. IMHO IP Telephony is the Hottest sector to be in right now, and to think we are in at ground level! Deutsche Telekom Launches IP Telephony Service In Canada ****Deutsche Telekom Launches IP Telephony Service In Canada 09/01/98 TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, 1998 SEP 1 (NB) -- By Martin Stone, Newsbytes. One day after Bell Canada announced the introduction of Internet Protocol (IP) telephony services in Canada, German-based Deutsche Telekom has introduced T-NetCall, a new IP Telephony service for the Canadian market. Unlike the Bell Canada service, which is still in its initial start-up phase and limited to a small number of destinations, Deutsche says T-NetCall customers will be able to make international phone-to-phone calls to over 100 countries. Also unlike the Bell service, which uses the public Internet to transmit, calls via Deutsche Telekom are transmitted in IP format using the company's global backbone network via local gateways. Deutsche Telekom spokeswoman Helen Sawick told Newsbytes: "The public Internet network creates quality degradation, interruptions and a mucky sound, but our quality is quite good." "T-NetCall eliminates many of the traditional problems with Internet telephony," said Roland Bopp, president and chief executive officer (CEO) of Deutsche Telekom North America Inc. "Calls on the Deutsche Telekom network are more secure since our network is more reliable and less congested than the public Internet." Sawick explained that calls via Deutsche's system are converted to data packets and transmitted over the company's own network. Johanne Cooper, general manager of Deutsche Telekom Canada added, "We believe our Canadian customers will welcome T-NetCall as an alternative to traditional calling and will be pleased with the quality of service and the competitive rates." In this initial phase, customers access T-NetCall with a touch-tone telephone and require no special equipment. Once accessing the gateway, callers are guided through the system using voice prompts. Deutsche Telekom tested the T-NetCall service with customers in Germany, Japan, the US, and Canada during 1997, the company reports. Sawick said that, among the countries presently accessible via Deutsche are Italy, Poland, Mexico, Netherlands, Hong Kong, India and Singapore, as well as Canada and the US. She said that the company hopes to offer global service by next month. Deutsche Telekom is one of the world's leading providers of international telecommunications. Deutsche Telekom (Canada) Inc. is a subsidiary serving client needs in the Canadian market.
