Telecom Italia to offer FMC in June

Italian carrier Telecom Italia could introduce a fixed mobile convergence (FMC) service as early as the end of the month, a report in Italian newspaper La Repubblica claims today.

The company’s chief executive Riccardo Ruggiero, was quoted as saying that the operator is still working on pricing for the service and may include some flat rate tariffs.

The service sounds very much like British Telecom’s Fusion service, which uses access points set up in the user’s home and office to allow fixed line rates when a handset is within range of the access point and GSM calling over a cellular network when out of range. At present, BT Fusion only offers Bluetooth connectivity, but with wifi enabled dual mode handsets due out from Motorola and Nokia within coming months, FMC packages are set to be based on wifi and cellular, rather than Bluetooth.

    ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!! Recent articles like the one above state that “FMC Telecom is adding SMS to the company fold”. This is nothing but MORE name-dropping and empty technology dribble to form ANOTHER “shell” holding company for Ed Berkhof. Who does he think he is? Allen Stanford? Ed Berkhof and his previous co-conspirator, Sidney D. “Trip” Camper used name dropping, donations to St. Jude’s, and falsified tax documents to gain trust and get private investors to hand over thousands of dollars in cash, company paid trips to England, and ultimately control of their company. Ed berkhof is NOT a president or COO of anything – Ed Berkhof is a third rate bass player looking for another victim to give him money so he can pay his creditors = PONZI. Google “SEC Trip Camper Elandia resignation letter” . Frank Cassidy is either a NEW partner in crime for Ed Berkhof OR he is simply ANOTHER victim fallen prey to Ed Berkhof. The FBI has nabbed Allen Stanford and is now looking for the rest of Allen Stanford’s den of investment scammers like Sidney “Trip” Camper and Edward Berkhof. Don’t let this happen to you.
