Wonder if this is part of the NewBridge-Siemens Mainstreet Express stuff or ECI's. D. Telekom Offers Range Of New Services HANOVER, Germany (Reuters) - Deutsche Telekom AG (NYSE:DT - news) Tuesday outlined a plan to offer a range of new services including a ''single-phone number'' service, low-cost calls over the Internet and high-speed ADSL Internet access. The former monopoly phone company said it had already begun rolling out a personal communications services (PCS) offer that gives customers one phone number at which they can be reached at home, at work or on the road, The PCS combines a standard phone line with a mobile phone account, so that the customer receives calls to a single number at any location, Telekom said at a news conference ahead of this week's technology CeBIT trade show. Telekom began the service in March but will now begin marketing it, management board member Detlev Buchal said, adding that so far Telekom had 1,000 PCS customers. In May, the company will add a ''Surf and Call'' service, that routes phone calls over the Internet when a customer clicks a button on his computer screen. The service would be free, but Telekom said it would levy a one-off fee of 400 marks to set up Surf and Call, and 60 marks for each computer the customer uses for Internet calls, Buchal said. In July, Telekom said it would roll out Internet access based on ADSL (asynchronous digital subscriber line) technology, which is significantly faster than existing digital ISDN lines. The company's ''T-DSL'' service will cost residential users 98 marks per month for a line capable of a transmission rate of 768 kilobits per second -- more than 10 times faster than ISDN. For users of its Internet T-Online service, Telekom will offer T-DSL line and 50 hours of online time for 99 marks per month. A package with 100 hours of T-Online access will cost 149 marks. T-DSL for business customers will be available in April with transmission speeds of six megabits per second -- 100 times faster than ISDN. A change in local rates was supposed to come in connection with cuts in the pre-minute access charges for Telekom's T-Online service. The T-Online plan was blocked by a Hamburg court that agreed with America Online Inc (NYSE:AOL - news) that it would hinder competition in the online business.
