British Telecommunications Plc and the Deutsche Bundespost are to provide what they are calling a one-stop shopping service to their international private leased line circuit customers – this brings to 19 the total of such agreements British Telecom has with other PTTs, eight of whom are in Western Europe: effectively, the agreements mean that international leased circuit customers in the 19 countries will be able to deal with a single, localised point of contact for all questions relating to the leasing of the international circuits; customers will also be able to pay associated bills in local currency.
