Telecom Italia
On 2 February 2005, Telecom Egypt, Egypt’s incumbent operator, TE Data, and Telecom Italia Sparkle, Italy’s international services carrier, announced that they are expanding the cooperation of the already signed Partnership Agreement in the field of IP services and advanced data solutions for multinational customers.
The three-party Agreement called for the sharing of technical and commercial strategies with the aim of building a mutually stronger position in the Mediterranean basin telecommunications market.
The qualifying element of the Partnership Agreement is the installation and start-up of a Telecom Italia Sparkle Point of Presence (POP) in Cairo. Through this POP, essentially Egyptian and Italian corporate customers can gain access to IP/Data services (e.g. IP-VPN Virtual Private Networks and other managed bandwidth solutions).
The three partners have announced that a handful of corporate customers are already connected and using the services of the brand new Cairo POP.
