The telecommunications branch of the only candidate to buy Efacec has invested half a million euros in the creation of what it guarantees will be the first online shop that will integrate the offers of national retail operators.
DSTelecom, the wholesale telecommunications operator that already guarantees a network infrastructure that covers more than 550,000 households in Portugal, expecting to reach 130 municipalities by the end of this year, has invested half a million euros in what it claims to be the first telecommunications shop that will allow users to subscribe exclusively online to fibre optic services marketed by several national operators.
It is called GetOn and, according to DSTelecom, it will start operating in low population density areas, aiming to contribute to the promotion of telecommunications services supported exclusively by fibre optics.
"This marketplace will promote and enhance access to broadband services and allow people living in low population density areas to have the same quality of service and diversity of supply as people living in urban areas, thus contributing to the reduction of regional disparities and social equality, preventing rural exodus and even supporting the attraction of investment and people to these territories", said Ricardo Salgado, CEO of Dstelecom.
The Braga group assures that GetOn "is prepared to broaden its scope of action to the whole country by being able to integrate infrastructures from other operators, as well as different offers", stating that this telecommunications "marketplace" has "aroused the interest of international operators, and there are already contacts to study the possibility of extending the platform to other geographies".
According to DSTelecom, "on a single platform, it will now be possible, at no cost for the user, to check the fibre network coverage at his address, consult packages from several operators, subscribe online to the service that is most suitable and also checking the status of the requests in real-time".
"The advantages are immense, from the sustainability that an online shop brings, with effective cost reduction and the ability to reach further, to the convenience for the user of being able to access commercial packages from several operators simultaneously on a single platform, without leaving home", emphasises DSTelecom's CEO.
Although it is an online platform, GetOn ensures that it is prepared to answer requests for help and clarify doubts throughout the entire adherence process.
"We are aware that the areas where GetOn is going to operate have a high percentage of infoexcluded population and, precisely because of that, we do not want to fail to meet their needs. We have prepared a customer support team which, by telephone, will provide the necessary follow-up to all those who need it", states Ricardo Salgado.
The GetOn project arose from a need identified in the market in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, thus facilitating the process of joining fibre services.
What led DSTelecom to create this project? "We found that there was a great movement of people to the interior of the country and even to more remote locations during the pandemic, which forced a greater demand for broadband services," explained the same manager.
As a wholesale telecommunications operator, DSTelecom emphasises that it is responsible for "building and managing Europe's first and largest multi-operator FTTH fibre optic network, available to all telecommunications operators".
