Eurotel is Intec's first convergent mediation customer in Eastern Europe, a region with one of the world's fastest growing mobile markets.

"Intec offered us the most complete and proven mobile mediation solution for the wide range of services we offer. Inter-mediatE will go a long way towards helping us achieve our objectives of generating maximum revenue from premium mobile services."

It has become the first operator to rollout Multimedia Messaging Services (MMS) in the Czech Republic as well as offer mobile video services through video streaming, which allows users to view recordings - such as movie trailers - as they come to the phone, with no downloading or extra memory required. Kevin Adams, Intec's CEO said: "Added value next-generation services are particularly important in Eastern Europe's growing but very competitive mobile market. Eurotel is relying on Intec's mediation technology to deliver a solution that can maximise revenue streams from a wide range of services."
