NOTAS: | "Over the last year, the most noticeable development in value-added voice services has been the addition of images and video, bringing a new dimension to fixed line communications. Belgacom, Deutsche Telekom, France Telecom and Telecom Italia have already launched fixed multimedia messaging services (MMS) and/or video calling services, mirroring recent moves by mobile operators.
Another development is the launch of services that enhance customer convenience and/or control, thus saving them time. Examples of this include the launch of Tutto 4* by Telecom Italia, which bundles the existing 4* information service with additional value-added services (VAS), as well as Verizon's Call Intercept and Telefonica's distinctive ringtone service." |
