Tech Companies Offer Free Services

Published: 17 September 2001 y., Monday
Telseon, in Englewood, Colo., has offered up to 100 megabits per second of free bandwidth and colocation space to companies in the New York area that lost telecommunications. "Telseon is dedicated to offering assistance to help expedite the recovery process. Our network is fully operational and available to help businesses establish data continuity," the company in a statement said. VisionLab Telecommunications has offered free in-bound and out-bound Internet fax services to affected companies until the first quarter of 2002. "We sincerely hope our contribution will make a positive difference to the companies accepting our services, and will aid in the return to regular operations," said VisionLab CEO Amin El-Gazzar. Videoconferencing manufacturers PictureTel and Polycom, along with their channel partners, announced a "video relief" program, offering free use of their conferencing products and centers around the country. More information can be found at www.polycom.com. Hungary's largest phone company, Mat‡v, said it would give customers calling into the U.S. a 50 percent discount through Sept. 22. In a similar move, British Telecommunications waived roaming fees for its customers in the U.S. Other companies have chosen to give money directly to disaster relief funds. BellSouth Chairman and CEO Duane Ackerman announced his company will donate $1 million to The American National Red Cross.
