Belgacom joins forces with Samsung to give everybody the possibility to access Internet everywhere

From June 1st, Belgacom will launch a new bundled offer allowing people to communicate and surf wherever they go. With this offer, Belgacom is considerably lowering the threshold to access Internet everywhere. This is the result of a privileged partnership with the leading industry player Samsung.Customers will be able to enjoy the services immediately when leaving the Belgacom Centers.

Belgacom already provides customers with a number of strong innovations in its Internet offering. Belgacom is now taking the next step, making it easier to access the Internet outdoors. 700.000 smartphones were sold in Belgium in 2010 (source: Gfk), and the number is expected to double this year. Analysts also believe the sale of tablets will rise enormously.

Belgacom is committed to guiding customers through these new wireless trends and is now announcing a ground-breaking convergent Internet offer. The offer is unique on the Belgian market and goes much further than existing formulas: it combines an Internet-enabled tablet with a fixed and mobile Internet subscription, for a very attractive price.

This offer has been shaped thanks to a privileged partnership between Belgacom and Samsung, whereby the digital leadership of Samsung as producer of several electronic products & services is combined with Belgacom’s experience as the preferred provider of intuitive end-to-end solutions combing fixed, mobile telecom, IT and media.
