Imag!ne out to shake up the market

TELECOM service provider Imag!ne yesterday offered consumers a free broadband service and cheaper local and national telephone calls in a move designed to shake up the Irish telecom market.

With Ireland ranked among the worst countries in the OECD for broadband take-up, the announcement was welcomed by Minister for Communications Noel Dempsey.

He said it was a sign Irish consumers are benefiting from increasing competition and more choice of broadband provider.
