2003

THUS plc, one of the UK's leading providers of voice, data, Internet and contact centre services, today announced the launch of international Frame Relay/ATM services facilitated by an agreement with Infonet, a leading provider of global communications services for multinationals. THUS is now offering UK customers international data transmission and follows its launch of a transatlantic Frame Relay service last November. The global service will cover more than fifty countries worldwide including Turkey, China, Australia and South Africa and enables THUS to provide its UK customers with cost effective, seamless, high volume data communications across the world.

"Establishing a relationship with a global company that we trust means that we can now offer international data services at the highest possible standard and can provide customers with the same quality of service that they expect within the UK. Long-term strategic relationships are critical to ensure consistently good service and we have been careful to select companies we know we can work effectively with," said Phil Male, Chief Operating Officer of THUS plc. "We are confident that the Infonet network will live up to THUS's commitment to strong service level guarantees for network availability and data delivery."

"We are pleased that THUS has chosen to work with us to extend its data delivery service worldwide," said Bob DaGiau, Vice President, Product Marketing Frame Relay and ATM for Infonet. "Infonet is known for its quality of service and we will provide THUS with the cost-effective, scalable high-capacity network that it requires. We look forward to working with THUS on future service enhancements to meet its customers' developing needs."
