Tiscali Joins New.net’s™ Global Team of ISP Partners
Partnership with largest European ISP brings total access to New.net names to over 93 million worldwide; New.net-enabled networks span four continents
New.net (http://www.new.net), a domain name registry created to meet the market demand for Web addresses with logical, easy-to-remember extensions, today announced an agreement with Tiscali, the leading Internet Communication Company, that will increase the total number of business and residential Internet users with access to New.net domains to more than 93 million worldwide. Under the partnership, Tiscali's 7.5 million active subscribers across 14 countries will have automatic access to New.net’s more meaningful domain names in users’ native languages.
The agreement with Tiscali – which has the largest geographical presence of any European Internet provider – is New.net’s first with a pan-European ISP and includes subscribers in 14 countries. These are: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
New.net offers Tiscali's customers access to new Web addresses with extensions in several local languages, including English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian.
ISPs around the world now provide access to New.net domain names through a simple network upgrade. New.net also distributes a small software application that provides access for those Internet users whose ISPs have not yet upgraded their networks. Both methods work within the existing Internet infrastructure and currently enable over 93 million Internet users worldwide to view the new domain names.
“The partnership with Tiscali is continued evidence of the growing popularity for New.net domain names in the international arena,” said Andy Duff, Director of Marketing and Policy for Europe at New.net. “Tiscali’s strong position in Europe also reaffirms our strategy of working with leading ISPs around the world to ensure we fully understand the needs of Internet users in many different countries. We are particularly pleased that Tiscali’s base of German and Italian subscribers will now benefit directly from our recent launch of German and Italian extensions such as .gmbh, and .turismo.”
New.net has solidified ISP partnerships that reach users across 25 countries worldwide - consolidating the company’s position as a leading international player in the domain name industry.
