Brexit will be a catalyst for
business expansion, new
research shows
T
-Mobile has introduced a 5G-ready
subscription in the Netherlands. This
new subscription is an extension of the very
popular Unlimited subscription. In addition to
direct access to the 5G network as soon as it
becomes available, this subscription not only
provides worry-free calling in the Netherlands
and in the EU, but also to the EU and more
secure Internet use. This new extended
Unlimited subscription is available from
February. The price is €37.50 per month.
With this new, more extensive subscription,
T-Mobile is responding to customer
requirements and market developments.
With the current Unlimited subscription,
customers can already make unlimited calls
and use the Internet in the Netherlands.
To offer customers an even more worry-
free subscription, T-Mobile adds unlimited
calling from the Netherlands to the EU
and extra secure Internet in this new
subscription. Built-in antivirus software
immediately blocks unsafe data traffic from
websites and apps.
Moreover, with this more extensive
Unlimited subscription, customers are
ready for the future. With the introduction
of the first 5G devices on the Dutch market
expected in the first quarter, T-Mobile
offers customers with such a device the
security of access in combination with this
subscription to the 5G network as soon as it
becomes available.
Tisha van Lammeren, T-Mobile Consumer
Market Director: “We are on track to be
the first in the Netherlands to rollout a
nationwide 5G network. That is why we
are already offering customers with a 5G
device in combination with this extended
Unlimited subscription the certainty
and the first to gain access to this latest
5G network. Customers already know
exactly what the very latest 5G Unlimited
subscription will cost and are ready for the
next step in telecom.”

Brexit could be
considered a positive
move for businesses
B
rexit will drive overseas expansion
for UK businesses as they look to
shore up their presence in new markets
following the UK’s departure from the
European Union, according to new
research from Communication-as-a-
Service leader, Voxbone.
With businesses facing uncertainty over
the UK’s future relationship with the EU,
almost one in five UK respondents said
that they are more likely to expand into
Europe specifically because of Brexit.
Double this number (38%) said that
their expansion plans are completely
unaffected by Brexit. This may allay
fears that UK business will become more
inward-facing and be constrained to UK-
only operations following Brexit.
When respondents were asked about
their forthcoming expansion plans, more
than nine in 10 respondents (92%)
said that top-quality communications
infrastructure was a key factor in
enabling operations in new territories. In
addition, telecoms compliance also plays
a crucial role in the business decision-
making process.
According to Velocity Global’s State of
Global Expansion 2019 report, 43%
of UK businesses planning to expand
overseas are doing so because of the
economic uncertainty around Brexit. As
well as the political climate, Velocity’s
research also found that recruitment of
the best global tech talent is a key reason
for expansion, with 42% expanding in
order to recruit the best people.
“Britain’s global business community
has one of the best reputations in the
world and it is encouraging to see that
British business will continue with global
strategies despite, and even because of,
Brexit,” said Timir Patel, Head of Product
at Voxbone. n
