Consumers and small businesses in Ireland are set to benefit from greater competition and choice following a strategic partnership agreed between BT and Vodafone today. The contract will also result in the creation of an alternative, competitive telecoms network in Ireland.
Under the terms of the agreement, which is subject to approval from the Irish Competition Authority, BT will transfer its consumer and small business broadband and voice customer base to Vodafone and will also provide wholesale network services to underpin Vodafone’s business over a seven-year period. BT will continue to focus on becoming the number one provider of networked IT services to mid and large sized businesses and the public sector in Ireland.
BT has also committed to building an advanced network infrastructure and improving broadband speeds in Ireland. It will provide a platform for the delivery of up to 24Mb/s broadband services to approximately 2/3 of Ireland’s available broadband lines by unbundling up to 58 additional exchanges. To date, BT has already unbundled 22 exchanges in the Republic of Ireland.
