The deal means Telcoinabox will be the first mobile virtual network aggregator of the W-CDMA network, New Zealand’s fastest 3G network, to provide mobile voice and data services.
“This is an exciting time for Telcoinabox globally,” says CEO, John Pellew of Telcoinabox UK.
He says based on the company’s global experience of more than six years combined with industry trends, mobile and mobile data are the big growth opportunities for the world not to mention Europe.
Switching on to the XT network in New Zealand alone, a country which it’s population is the tenth of the size of Great Britain, will generate for the company more than $400 million over the next two years.
According to John Pellew this connection is expected to appeal to SMEs, associations and communities, resellers and corporations that see the commercial potential in offering telecommunication packages under their own brands to existing customers.
In the UK, Telecoinabox has signed Gamma Telecom (fixed wire and mobile), Opal, Openreach and Tiscali to offer a similar deal to potential service providers.
While the company may be new to the UK, it is certainly an established brand among England’s southern cousins.
The company has great expectations for the UK market and anticipates similar interest being established for the brand.
“We also see a great future in wholesale customers. As companies realise that offering telecommunication services to their existing customers can create an additional profit centre for their businesses, we see ourselves as the ideal network partner.”
Over the last few months, the UK office has signed four new major wholesale customers and two franchisees and there are more in the pipeline. Growth for the company is forecast to reach 100 per cent within one year.
