Smart move will save firms a packet

BUSINESSES in Cork will soon be able to save up to 50% on communications costs, following the completion of a fibre-optic cable network and the entry of a new service provider to the market.

The network is more than 60 kilometres in length and will provide high quality voice, data and internet services to businesses in the Cork area.

Dublin-based Smart Telecom yesterday announced the launch of its service, which will allow corporate customers to tailor their communications spending to suit their circumstances and eliminate unnecessary spending.
