| Two new services were announced by Clear in February. A new
Data Services Verification Laboratory acts as a check-up and tune-up
for data equipment before it is installed. The laboratory tests and optimises
the performance of both customer premise equipment (CPE) and enterprise
equipment. Clear has also recently added wireless loop to its fibre network.
Clear believes medium and small businesses will benefit from the acquisition
of radio spectrum because it is ideal for telephony, broadband data services,
and internet access. |
