TELES plans "Super HotSpot Berlin-Brandenburg" – First Ubiquitous Mobile Broadband Internet Access Service –

This message is due to the German AnSVG, § 13 (1) and § 15 (1).

TELES board just decided to amplify its planning concerning its project "Super HotSpot Berlin-Brandenburg", i.e. to intensify the clarification of the complicated legal environment of this project in favor of it, to ensure its above any doubt support by the regional political key players and – if this should confirm pursuing this project – to ask, based on this new ground, the Medienrat Berlin-Brandenburg to be kindly disposed towards this issue.

By means of the "Super HotSpot Berlin-Brandenburg", the German capital's region of Berlin-Brandenburg would become the leading Internet region throughout Germany and Europe: Its wireless broadband Internet access service, speeding up to 16.000 Kbit/s, were available virtually everywhere within it, i.e. by Laptop mobile usable – via DVB-T, the technology based on the new standard for "Digital Video Broadcast -Terrestrial".

In cooperation with the Berlin T-Systems, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, TELES could provide this mobile and ubiquitous broadband Internet access service already by mid 2005, leveraging on its innovative and patent protected skyDSL technology (for the service qualities of the latter see the skyDSL performance monitor on https://service.skydsl.de/monitor/fair.html), thus generating some growth impact also on all four German mobile GSM/GPRS/UMTS network carriers. Therefore, TELES has already applied with the Medienanstalt Berlin-Brandenburg for the new DVB-T channel 65 – for use by up to 15.000 Internet users within the "Super HotSpot Berlin-Brandenburg" – assuring to T-Systems TELES' readiness to fully finance the establishment and operations of this channel 65.

Exceeding its significant economic impact on the region, the "Super HotSpot Berlin-Brandenburg" would indicate, nation and Europe wide, an innovative and short term executable approach to the objective of "broadband Internet for everybody", as postulated repeatedly by the German government as well as by the EU.

For TELES the "Super HotSpot Berlin-Brandenburg" were an ideal show case in its up-coming marketing campaign for its pan-European broadband Internet access service skyDSL (see www.teles.de) – which explains and justifies TELES' engagement in this project.
