Czech carrier joins European carrier alliance

Published: 22 September 2004 y., Wednesday
The Starmap Mobile Alliance, an alliance of small European operators aimed at gaining more equipment-buying and roaming power, said Czech mobile carrier Eurotel Praha has joined the group, increasing its membership to 11 operators with more than 53 million subscribers. “We look forward to leveraging the increased scale the alliance offers and enhance the services for our customers when traveling abroad,” commented Michal Herman, acting chief executive officer and managing director of Eurotel. Eurotel, the largest wireless provider in the Czech Republic, joins the alliance with equal and full membership rights alongside the current 10 operators, the group said. Eurotel will immediately start to co-operate in the alliance roaming, procurement, sales and marketing initiatives and to roll out the Starmap Mobile Alliance endorsement brand with its key products and services. “The accession of Eurotel underlines our commitment to expand in key territories, further increasing our scale and scope towards customers and suppliers,” said Starmap Mobile Alliance Chairman Rafael Wariwoda of ONE. Other members of the group are Amena (Spain), MmO2 (Germany, the United Kingdom and Ireland), One (Austria), Pannon GSM (Hungary), Sonofon (Denmark), Sunrise (Switzerland), Telenor Mobil (Norway) and Wind (Italy).
