Nešto sam slabo pratio u zadnje vrijeme glavnog lokalnog globalizatora svega telekomunikacijskog pa sam prekopavajući po nekim starim bookmarksima (selim se na IE8 privremeno… mada NNo turning back on IE 8, warns Microsoft …) kliknuo na neki RSS i ima svašta za pročitati o DT-u… :-))

Deutsche Telekom looks to Serbia 
Deutsche Telekom is interested in buying a 15% stake in the incumbent Serbian telco Serbia Telekom.
The news was given to the Balkan press by Miroslav Jokcimovic, the head of Telekom Serbia’s trade union, who added that the state should still retain a majority stake in the telco.
Deutsch Telekom already holds an indirect stake of 5% in Telekom Serbia through the 20% interest it recently acquired in Greece’s OTE.

Nema odmora, šoping do daske. Ma i treba tako, ima se para, ima se kredita… u stvari da nema kredite ne bi se ni imalo para pa bankama ne preostaje ništa drugo nego da daju kredite … e da bi bilo para… njihovih… izmišljenih para…  A nije sve niti izmišljeno, ima i pravih pravcatih korisnika koji uredno plaćaju račune, nemre se reći da nema…

Deutsche Telekom in big push for T-Home Entertain
August 29, 2008 - Deutsche Telekom has revealed plans for a major push for its "T-Home Entertain" IPTV service, and aims to reach 500,000 subscribers by the end of this year, compared to 250,000 at the end of the second quarter of this year, as well as expand its broadband footprint.
Speaking at a press conference at the IFA event currently taking place in Berlin, Deutsche Telekom stated that it plans to connect a further ten cities to its nationwide VDSL network (Kiel, Rostock, Bielefeld, Freiburg, Hagen, Krefeld, Lübeck, Oberhausen and Solingen), bringing the total number of German cities connected to its IPTV-capable VDSL network to 50. IPTV via ADSL2+ meanwhile is targeted for around 1,000 cities and municipalities by the end of 2008.

VDSL… e da… VDSL… ma nije lokalnoj podružnici loše. Kažu mi neke ptičice da će prebaciti plan MAXtv korisnika i da će već možda u 9. mjesecu zakucati taj broj na okruglih 100.000… svaka čast… ne znam koliko je to blizu željenog eHrvatskog penetriranja ali definitivno nije loše, garant spremaju povišice za svoje zaposlenike kao bonus za dobro obavljen posao… OK, možda ne baš za sve ali neki bonusi se ipak moraju podijeliti… kaj ne? ;-)

Ali koliko je ovo u stvari malo tržište… ukupno možda milju i pol priključaka… DT u njemačkoj spojio deset milijuntog korisnika… eh što su ti brojke.

DT gains ten millionth DSL retail customer
According to Telecompaper, Deutsche Telekom’s (DT) fixed/broadband division T-Home gained its ten millionth DSL retail customer in August. Customers in 750 cities and municipalities have access to downlink speeds of up to 16Mbps, and 50 cities will have speeds of up to 50Mbps via VDSL by the end of 2009. IPTV via ADSL2+ will be available in around 1,000 cities and municipalities by the end of 2008. Also by the end of this year, 96% of all German households will be covered by DT’s ADSL network, with more than 80% of lines capable of providing speeds of 2Mbps or greater.

Nije to ni loše kad 96% kućanstava ima mogućnost uzeti DSL priključak. Kod nas je malo drugačija situacija, hrpa ljudi izvan velikih gradova to još ne može. Ma nije upitno za ljude izvan većih gradova, to još netko može i shvatiti da negdje nema dovoljno interesa pa nema DSLAM-a i tako to ali strava je kad se sazna koliko ljudi koji su u velikim gradovima i na centralama koje imaju DSLAM i ne na periferiji tih gradova u stvari uopće ne može dobiti ADSL… u stvari neki od njih ne mogu dobiti niti pošteni Dialup. Sramota ali tako je… boli DT ona stvar što se mreža raspada i što je bakar slab ili ga ima premalo pa se stavljaju PCM-ovi i slično… u Njemačkoj ih 96% ima dostupnost … nekakvu… bilo kakvu, kod nas još uvijek prolaze lažni podatci koji uzimaju ukupni broj parica na nekoj centrali kao dostupnost, a u stvari jedan dio tih parica uopće nema mogućnost uzeti DSL čak niti potencijalno niti teoretski jer se jednom paricom koristi više telefonskih priključaka, ili je bakar preslab ili je tako blesavo isprespajano da je korisnik na centrali koja je dalje nego što bi trebalo ili je puno korisnika blizu (parice u buntu) pa je toliki šum da ne prolazi više niti Dialup, o IPTV-u se može sanjati, a HD je čisti SF. No nema veze, Sanader voli velike brojke pa će mu Ivica (ali i ostatak ekipe) servirati veeeelike brojke, štop veće to bolje.

No nema veze, DT je prodao do sada i 120.000 iPhoneova. E sad, nešto iPhone baš i nije u vrhu "zelenih" i eco friendly proizvoda (analiza Greenpeacea) ali to ne smeta ekipu iz DT-a da lamentira o tome kako oni jako brinu o tome da njihv "suply chain" bude totalno zeleni. A zašto i ne bi, sve što trebaju je upakirati iPhone u papirnate vrećice i reći kako su … eco friendly… inače danas se svi nešto kao jako brinu za CO2 footprint a posebno kompanije koje us CO2 Bigfooti.

Ethical Corporation: Toyota, Pepsi, Deutsche Telekom, Marks & Spencer, Cadbury and more to discuss Ethical Supply Chains in Berlin, October 16-17

Vjerojatno će zatvaranje 53 CalLCentra objasniti brigom za prirodu što i ima smisla. Manje centara manje se troši energije, manje se ljudi vozi na posao, manji je CO2 BigFootPrint. Staviš isti broj ljudi u manje prostora i eto fine eco-friendly uštede. Pa ja stalno tvrdim da bi najveći eco podhvat u cilju očuvanja zemlje bio da se pobije 50% stanovnika. "Manje ljudi više cvijeća"… to bi mogla biti parola onih koji tvrde da su etička kompanija.

BONN, Germany: Deutsche Telekom AG said Thursday that it plans to shut 53 call centers across Germany over the next two years in a move meant to help cut costs, but said all 8,000 employees affected would be offered jobs at the remaining centers.
Thomas Berlemann, a board member at Deutsche Telekom’s T-Home division, said the company hopes to improve service quality and productivity by concentrating activities at 24 of its larger call centers.
It also hopes to cut costs by €57 million (US$84 million) per year.
Deutsche Telekom’s call centers currently employ 18,000 people in total, and Berlemann stressed that none of those jobs would be cut.

Nema veze, glavno da su zaposlenici zadovoljni i sudjeluju u uspjehu kompanije sa velikim bonusima i opcijama na dionice i svom silom beneficijama kao i u svim drugim kompanijama anyway. No svejedno, rijetke su korporacije koje mrtvo hladno naprave desetak widgeta za Windows Vistu i to proglase za MySoftware paket kao da dijele office aplikacije ili boktepitaj kakve korisne programe. PR radi svašta i ljudi puše… alistvarno svašta pa tako i ovakve ludosti.

Ljudi stvarno puše svašta i još za daju novce. Kad bi ja sad rekao da je ljudima moguće prodavati zrak vjerojatno bi svi frknuli nosom i rekli da je to nemoguće, nitko nije toliko glup da bi kupio zrak. Stvarno? A što ako zrak zapakiram u vrećicu jer kako bi ga drugačije prodao da ne pobjegne? Još ne želite kupiti zrak koji vam prodajem? Jeste li sigurni? A što ako to zapakiram u jako lijepu i šarenu vrećicu? Ne? Još ne kupujete? A što ako taj zrak koji sam stavio u vrećicu nazovem… balon i pitam vašeg klinca da li želi balon? ;-)

No dobro balon ali balun? 22 lika ganjaju zrak natrpan u okruglu mješinu? Da da i to se može prodati. U stvari to ćemo svi kupiti… odmah…

Ali to je sve super… hm… ili nije?

Deutsche Telekom to see fixed lines drop below 50% in 2013
Deutsche Telekom will see the number of German households with a fixed telephony connection drop below 50 percent in 2013, according to German magazine Capital citing a analysis of private investment bank Sal. Oppenheim. This compares to around 70 percent during at the end of the second quarter of this year. The decrease will accelerate due to the success of DSL competitors, cable network operators and the increasing number of mobile only households. Deutsche Telekom plans to cut jobs among its 24,000 service mechanics, which make house calls, because it plans to transfer to an all-IP network by 2014. Such a network has less central switches, thus needing less mechanics to solve problems.

Dobro da su se sjetili preći na "all IP" network. Prednost novih telekoma i je u tome da su im ionako networci all aj pi networci jer su gradili ispočetka. Dobra vijest za DT je i da ih regulator više neće siliti da dijele svoju mrežu s drugima. Nešto na što će se Viviane Reding užasnuti ali samo formalno jer… pa znamo kako se igra igra, dobila je i ona neki iPhone … khm… a i isteklo joj je vrijeme pa eto…

German watchdog mulls exempting major cities from DSL regulationFRANKFURT (Thomson Financial) - Germany’s Federal Network Agency is mulling to exempt those cities and urban centres from DSL regulation, where companies besides Deutsche Telekom AG. are operating their own fast networks, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported.
Such a decision would mean that in highly competitive cities such as Cologne, Hamburg or Munich, Deutsche Telekom (nyse: DT - news - people ) would not any longer be obliged to grant other competitors access to its networks, it added.

Pa neće valjda regulator mirno sjediti i gledati kako konkurencija rastura dok DT puši korisnike. Svašta… ono… nismo u Slovačkoj… :-)

Slovak Telekom fined by competition watchdog
Slovakia’s competition body has fined fixed-line phone operator Slovak Telekom (ST) SKK 885 million (USD 43.09 million) because it abused its leading position by refusing other phone operators access to local connections, Reuters reports.

A ako se pitate kako oni dosadni telemarketeri dolaze do vaših podataka… nemojte se više pitati.

A scandal involving the illegal trade in customer data continues to grow in Germany. According to media reports, the country’s biggest telecommunications company, Deutsche Telekom, has also been affected.A call center in Bremen illegally sold on information from Telekom databases to third parties, according to a report on the German public radio station Norddeutsche Rundfunk.

 Ma glavno da se para vrti… kaj ne? ;-)
