AT&T unveils Concert marketing plan NEW YORK, Nov 11 (Reuters) - AT&T Corp. , in the first marketing push associated with its $11 billion joint venture with British Telecommunications Plc , said Wednesday it will begin selling a suite of telecommunications services for U.S.-based multinational corporate clients under the label "AT&T Concert Services." AT&T, the largest U.S. long distance phone company, said in a news release that AT&T Concert will feature international voice, data and Internet Protocol services. "We're pleased to partner with AT&T in meeting...the needs of business customers who want choice and quality coupled with the functionality of services fully managed end-to-end," Concert Communications Services President and Chief Executive Peter Manning said. Concert, which targets international business clients, is a wholly owned unit of BT, Britain's largest telecommunications concern. BT acquired full ownership earlier this year, buying out MCI Communications Corp.'s stake shortly before MCI was acquired by WorldCom Inc. . AT&T and BT announced their Concert partnership in late July. Planning is under way to integrate the two carriers' network facilities and deploy an IP-based network connecting 100 cities around the world, AT&T said. The venture's public network will reach 237 countries and territories, and its managed networks will have 6,000 nodes in 52 countries. ((--New York Newsdesk 212 859-1700))
