"Australia - Telstra, 3Com In ISDN Push" May 13, 1999 SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, Newsbytes : In a deal estimated to be worth at least A$10 million(US$6.7 million), Australia'a biggest telecommunications carrier Telstra and 3Com [NASDAQ: COMS] have linked up to peddle ISDN Internet access packages to Australian small and medium businesses via a nationwide network of resellers. Resellers will market three "Easy Connect" packages, which bundle Telstra On Ramp ISDN connections and Big Pond Business Internet access with 3Com modems and routers. Resellers will be rewarded with commissions: Chris Munro -- Telstra's general manager channels, Internet and data services -- estimates an Easy Connect entry- level sale would earn A$240 (US$160) commission. Munro says $10 million is a conservative measure of the market's potential. "We expect that Big Pond Business Easy Connect solutions will do for the IT industry what digital mobile phones did for the telecommunications industry -- transform it into a dynamic and lucrative market," she says.
