TDC to Launch easyMobile in United Kingdom COPENHAGEN, Denmark,
Nov. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TDC has reached a reseller
agreement with T-Mobile, the British mobile network operator, to
launch web-based mobile telephony services based on the so-called
Telmore concept in United Kingdom in March 2005. To leverage a
successful launch into the British market, TDC will be using the
easyMobile brand name and Telmore's founder, Frank Rasmussen, will
be the CEO of the new entity. The Telmore concept is essentially a
simple and transparent pricing and self service concept, based on
the selling of only SIM-cards combined with no handset subsidies
and subscription fees, simple tariff structure, and an easy- to-use
web-based customer interface. The concept focuses on lean
operations, no high-street shops and limited marketing budgets. The
concept has proven highly successful in Denmark, where it gained a
10% market share in only four years. In August 2004, TDC entered
into a brand license agreement with easyGroup, which gives TDC the
opportunity to launch the easyMobile brand name on the Telmore
concept in up to 12 European countries. TDC has established Telmore
International Holding which will administer the above mentioned
activity. Further TDC have agreed with the corporate entity,
"Investeringsselskabet af 25. oktober 2004 A/S," which is
controlled by Frank Rasmussen, that it obtain 20% ownership of
Telmore International Holding. TDC A/S, Noeregade 21 0900
