High-speed Internet access – T-Com sells ten millionth dsl device 

__________________________________________________________ 

Broadband internet is part of everyday life. According to a study by the 

Arbeitsgemeinschaft Onlineforschung (AGOF) online research working 

group, over 42 percent of Internet users go online via a high-speed 

Internet access. Whether wireless or not – they all need a DSL device. 

T-Com today handed over its ten millionth DSL device to a customer. In 

2006 alone, the company marketed 2.5 million modems, routers and 

W-LAN devices that T-Com had pooled in the Speedport product group. 

It all started in 1999 with the Teledat 300 LAN DSL modem. Today, the 

Speedport series is successfully established on the market. Important 

quality features include simpler, user-friendly installation and secure, easy 

use. T-Com's DSL devices convince the trade press and customers again 

and again. The DSL routers Speedport W 700V, W 701V, and W 900V, 

for example, were all rated "good" by testers from the trade journal 

“connect” (No. 1/2007). In connection with T-Com’s present all-in-one 

packages, Speedports ensure easy access to fast Internet connections 

and telephony over the fixed network and the Internet. 

Fast Internet in the living room is also becoming more and more important 

for the future. The Media Receiver T-Home X 300T ensures first-class 

entertainment on TV and was rated "good" by the trade journal 

SATVISION (No. 02/2007), among others. T-Com's triple-play offer, 

T-Home, allows users not only to surf at super-high speed and make low-

cost calls via the Internet – the Media Receiver allows over 130 TV

addition to TV reception, the device has functions that allow users to 

customize their TV watching even further, such as a time-shift function, an 

integrated Personal Video Recorder (PVR) and an Electronic Program

State-of-the-art terminal devices back T-Com’s claim to innovation 

Universal media receiver T-Home X 300T – Multiple distinctions from trade 

journal “connect” for T-Com’s cordless telephones and terminal devices for 

Internet access – Sinus W 500V combines a DSL modem, WLAN router, 

and DECT base station in a single device 

____________________________________________________________ 

Forward-looking technology and attractive design are the hallmarks of 

T-Com’s terminal devices. It is with these that the Broadband/Fixed Network 

business area is meeting its customers’ exacting requirements concerning 

the quality, design, and ease of use of telephone systems, telephones, and 

products for Internet communication. By adopting a clearly defined 

innovation and quality strategy, T-Com is underlining its claim to providing 

significant inspiration as one of the leading providers of terminal equipment 

in the German market and remaining a trendsetter with its products and 

services. 

T-Home X 300T – flexible set-top box 

Aside from the modem and the router for the VDSL line, the media receiver 

T-Home X 300T is the core of T-Home, T-Com’s triple-play package for 

surfing on the Web, telephony, and entertainment on TV. The set-top box 

supplies household television sets with varied content such as TV shows 

and T-Online’s extensive video-on-demand offering. A hard disk with a 

capacity of 80 gigabytes is integrated into the media receiver, enabling over 

70 hours of television programs and movies to be recorded. The device has 

a time-shift function, which means that users can stop the current program 

at any time and continue watching it at a later stage. Users can rewind or 

fast-forward the recording as desired. An electronic program magazine 

provides an overview of all programs in the coming weeks. The set-top box

T-Home X 300T automatically starts recording the program currently 

selected each time the television is switched on. It is therefore possible to 

watch a film sequence or exciting moments of a soccer match again. The 

picture-in-picture function is another advantage, enabling the user to follow 

several TV programs on the screen at the same time. In addition, the media 

receiver has analog and digital inputs and outputs for video recorders. 

Speedport – control centers for wireless telephony and surfing 

T-Com’s terminal devices have received rave reviews in the trade press and 

reader’s choice awards time and time again. The quality of Speedports 

W 700V, W 701V, and W 900V, for example, convinced testers from the 

trade journal “connect” (No. 1/2007), who rated all three devices highly. In 

connection with T-Com’s present all-in-one packages, T-Com Speedports 

ensure easy access to fast Internet connections and telephony over the 

fixed network and the Internet (VoIP, voice over Internet protocol). 

The Speedports W 700V and W 701V are WLAN (wireless local area 

network) routers with a DSL modem and telephone system. The hardware 

can be used on both T-Net and the T-ISDN line. A further advantage is that 

customers do not need to purchase any new equipment for Internet 

telephony because the Speedport has connections for two analog 

telephones. T-Home will become live within T-Com’s triple-play package 

with the VDSL modem Speedport 300HS and the set-top-box T-Home 

X 300T. 

With the new all-in-one unit Speedport W 900V from T-Com, a wireless 

network for all applications relating to telephone and Internet can be set up 

quickly and easily and without much installation effort required. The 

innovative communications center is a WLAN router with a DSL modem and 

a telephone system with a digital answering machine. Speedport W 900V is 

designed for the use of DSL on an analog T-Net line or T-ISDN. The unit 

allows a corded ISDN telephone or an existing ISDN telephone system and 

up to six additional DECT Sinus 500i Pack or Sinus 300i Pack mobile

handsets to be registered via the internal S0 interface. Two analog devices 

can also be connected. This innovative device enables users to save 

money by making phone calls over the Internet with voice over IP. The fast 

modem in Speedport W 900V is designed for the current bandwidth DSL 

16,000. Several personal computers or notebooks can be connected to the 

compact device with WLAN and up to four more PCs with a network cable. 

The fast data interchange between the computers in the network is via 

WLAN at speeds of up to 54 Mbit/s (megabits per second). A printer or an 

external USB hard drive can be connected via a USB interface if necessary. 

Sinus W 500V – all-round solution for wireless Internet surfing 

and VoIP telephony 

Sinus W 500V is a broadband modem with an integrated WLAN router and 

DECT base station in a single device. Thanks to the innovative control 

center for wireless surfing and telephony, families and small businesses can 

quickly and easily set up a cordless network for all telephone and Internet 

applications. Sinus W 500V also allows users to call other T-Online 

customers over the Internet using voice over IP. The Sinus W 500 V is 

designed for the analog T-Net line and provides the option of registering up 

to five additional DECT Sinus 500i Pack or Sinus 300i Pack mobile 

handsets. What is more, a PC with a network card can be connected by 

cable and a notebook by wireless connection to the compact device with a 

modern black-and-silver design. The Sinus W 500V’s fast modem supports 

the current bandwidth DSL 16,000. 

The handset that is part of the package has a large, eight-line, illuminated 

graphic display with 4,096 colors (128 x 128 pixels). Using the menu- 

controlled user interface, the telephone’s functions can be accessed 

intuitively without operating instructions using icons. The built-in telephone 

book holds up to 100 phone numbers and names, and the redial list can 

store up to 30 entries. The caller list shows up to 30 missed calls. The 

handset supports a large number of T-Net functions that make the phone

particularly easy to use. These include call waiting, switching between lines, 

CCBS (completion of call to busy subscriber), caller number display, 

notification of the call's duration and fixed-network text messaging. 

Eumex 800/Eumex 800V – intelligent PABXs for fixed-network and 

Internet telephony 

“connect” readers chose T-Com’s Eumex 800 as the most popular ISDN 

PABX when selecting “Products of the year 2006” (No. 11/2006). This unit 

has eight interfaces for analog telephony and two interfaces for ISDN 

telephony. Its current successor – the new Eumex 800V – is a combination 

of ISDN and DSL telephone systems and can be used for phoning over the 

fixed network and also over the Internet. The PABX can be used with two 

ISDN or system telephones and up to eight analog terminal devices. A DSL 

modem (maximum bandwidth: DSL 16,000) and a router are also 

integrated. Users can therefore connect up to four personal computers, 

laptops, notebooks, or a WLAN access point for wireless surfing to the 

Eumex 800V. The Eumex 800V uses the standard SIP (session initiation 

protocol) protocol for low-cost phone calls over the Internet (voice over IP). 

Right after registration – for instance with T-Online's Internet telephony 

service – the PABX is thus VoIP-capable. 

Sinus A 600 – state-of-the-art cordless phone with an answering 

machine 

The Sinus A 600 came out on top in the tests of cordless telephones with 

an answering machine carried out by the trade journal “connect” (No. 

12/2006). This state-of-the-art telephone has a large illuminated display with 

4,096 colors (128 x 128 pixels). Using the menu-controlled user interface, 

the telephone's functions can be accessed and used intuitively without 

operating instructions using graphic symbols known as icons. In addition to 

a telephone book with space for 150 entries and the handsfree option via 

the mobile handset, the Sinus A 600 contains a SIM card reader that is 

integrated into the base station. This enables current entries in the SIM card

of a mobile telephone to be easily transferred to the Sinus A 600’s 

telephone book. Up to 30 calls can be stored in the telephone’s caller list 

and redial list. The handset is set up for text messaging and the sending of 

e-mails with intelligent typing. The answering machine, which is integrated 

into the base station, provides a recording capacity of 30 minutes and the 

option of recording telephone conversations. The messages saved can also 

be called up externally using a PIN. 

Sinus 900 remote MMS set – elegant design with sophisticated 

technology 

In the Sinus 900 remote MMS set, T-Com provides a particularly elegant 

cordless telephone that has a number of innovative, practical 

supplementary functions in addition to easy telephony. The slim, compact 

mobile handset of the cordless phone has an especially large illuminated 

color display with 64,000 colors and menu icons as well as an illuminated 

keyboard. A high-resolution digital camera with 2x zoom and image quality 

of 640 x 480 pixels is also integrated into the mobile handset. The 

combination of integrated camera and high-resolution display enables MMS 

messages to be sent and received in all mobile communications networks. 

The fact that through a text message the Sinus 900 remote MMS set can be 

requested to take a photo on site and send this by MMS to a mobile 

telephone is a particular highlight. In addition, the device has a telephone 

book for 250 entries, a handsfree option through the mobile handset, and a 

SIM card reader in the base station. The card reader enables telephone 

book entries in a mobile phone to be transferred easily and quickly to the 

telephone book in the Sinus 900 remote MMS set. The Sinus 900 remote 

MMS set enables diverse convenience functions to be used such as call 

deflection, CCBS (completion of call to busy subscriber), switching between 

lines, and conference calls. The cordless telephone can also be used in an 

ISDN PABX.

user-friendly add-on functions as time shifted programs and a personal 

video recorder (PVR), which gives them easy, convenient recording in 

digital quality on the receiver’s integrated 80-gigabyte hard drive. In

T-Home offers access to numerous additional niche and

following new, attractive add-on services:

recorder (PVR) feature enables customers to 

record programs and play them back whenever 

they want. A practical aspect: the rewind function 

allows customers to watch certain content again, 

e.g. goals they have missed in a soccer match, 

and to repeat them as often as they like. 

− The Electronic Program Guide displays an 

overview of programs for the next three weeks on 

screen, and enables user-friendly PVR control. 

− The TV archive offers selected TV content, which 

is updated on a regular basis. So if you miss an 

installment of your favorite series or would like to 

see a program again, you will be able to access a 

selection of the content for a certain period of time 

without having to record it beforehand. 

− Video on Demand 3 (VoD) is a digital video store. 

It gives viewers all the entertainment they want on 

their home television sets – especially when the

Century Fox, Paramount and Sony. Documentaries come

Constantin Film AG as well as cooperation with the 

German Film Institute (DIF) cater for fans of German 

cinema classics.

Security: The purchase of movie licenses may be blocked by PIN 

Protecting young 

people: 

entry. This makes it impossible, for example, for children 

to purchase movies without their parents' permission. 

What's more, it prevents purchases from being made by 

accidental clicking. 

Websites from pay TV stations or on-demand services 

(TV archive, VoD) of concern for the protection of minors 

are blocked in advance by PIN entry. Moreover, sites for 

younger age groups (such as 0 or 6-year olds) or even 

entire television channels can also be blocked by users 

on an individual basis. 

Individual VoD offers are protected with an age 

verification system. This includes movies with a suitability 

rating for young people of 18 years and above, and 

erotics offers for adults. 

The age verification system ensures that only registered 

and authorized users will be able to access this protected 

content. Age verification is required by the Jugendschutz- 

recht (German Juvenile Protection Act. The T-Online age 

verification system was reviewed and approved by the 

Commission for the Protection of Minors from Unsuitable 

Media Content (KJM). 

Individuals of legal age are allowed to register. Regis- 

tration is possible online in the T-Online Customer 

Center, via a phone call to T-Online Customer Service or 

personally in the store (e.g. T-Punkt outlet).

Highlight channel 

You’ve just missed a goal or a vital pass? The 

highlight channel shows the best scenes from 

the ongoing matches in a three-minute 

program loop. 

Data channel Who shot the crucial goal, how does the table 

change during the matches and which player 

was red-carded in the match of the day? The 

data channel offers all the information on 

individual games and dates in a clear layout 

for subscribers to download. 

Day’s summary Long after the team have had their shower, 

T-Home subscribers go into extra time: one 

hour after matches end, they can view a 

rundown on all games with a commentary on 

their TV sets. They can also retrieve them 

from the TV archive at any time. 

All matches in the TV 

archive 

It’s a well-known fact that after the game is 

before the game: the TV archive stores all the 

matches from the first division in full length for 

download – always ready precisely when 

subscribers need them. Subscribers to the 

Bundesliga package can access the TV 

archive free of charge. 

“English week” Soccer is played not only at weekends but 

also on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during 

what is known in German as an “English 

week.” T-Home subscribers can naturally also 

watch these matches live and enjoy the topclass 

soccer entertainment. 

Info channel When there are no matches being played, 

subscribers can take advantage of the info 

channel and find out how easy it is to benefit 

from the “Bundesliga on PREMIERE powered 

by T-Com” offer, and what it actually 

comprises.

T-Home Complete Basic 

Customers with the T-Home Complete Basic 

package can watch summaries of the day’s 

play free of charge in the TV archive. They 

can download match broadcasts, which are 

produced in HD, as pay offers; to do so, they 

must at least have a T-VDSL 25 line. 

T-Home Complete Plus T-Home Complete Plus customers receive the 

same basic service as in the T-Home 

Complete Basic package, but T-Home also 

offers them two free matches on each 

matchday: on normal matchdays they can 

view the Friday match and one game on 

Sunday or, in so-called “English weeks,” one 

game on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. 

“Bundesliga on PREMIERE 

powered by T-Com” option

T-Com” soccer package is an option that can

vided by the Discovery Channel, BBC and History 

Channel. German films are provided by film packages

− 

With T-Online Video on Demand, films are available 

immediately – no registration or waiting times. The 

film you want is never out of stock and customers do 

not have to leave their homes. 

Exclusivity: T-Online Video on Demand users can 

sometimes view a film before or at the same time as 

its Pay TV Premiere. 

If a customer has purchased a 24-hour license for a 

film, they can watch it as often as they wish during this 

time or select their favorite scenes from the menu. 

Before purchasing a usage license, there is not only a 

cover text available providing information on the film, 

but in many cases also a preview trailer. 

An increasing selection of content, currently over 60 

films, is available in High Definition (HD) quality.

Streaming, picture 

& sound quality: 

− 

− 

− 

− 

− 

Musik on Demand: the service offers concerts and 

shows with stars such as Bon Jovi and the most 

popular bands and artists such as The Hives, Franz 

Ferdinand, Gorillaz and classical concerts. 

Practical: the “My movies“ option in the navigation bar 

of the VoD portal provides the user with an overview 

of the Video on Demand films for which he is currently 

holding a usage license. If the customer has pur- 

chased a film and wants to watch it again during the 

next 24 hours, he can easily start it from his persona- 

lized film overview. 

Never forget a film: the “Reserve” function stores your 

film selection and displays it separately. 

Access to the cartoon channel Jetix where many epi- 

sodes of popular cartoon series, such as Inspector 

Gadget, Action Man or Jim Knopf can be called up. 

Growing number of exotic content genres such as 

animated films for example. 

When called up on PC, films are streamed live after the 

start; nothing is saved on the hard disk. Customers with 

T-DSL 2000 and 6000 receive their streams at a rate of 

up to 1465 kb/s, T-DSL 1000 customers up to 736 kb/s. 

The use of Dolby Prologic II, which enables customers 

to use Surround-Sound if they have the relevant hard- 

ware, means that films can be watched with a very good 

sound quality. 

Security: Customers must log in to purchase a usage license. It is 

not possible to buy a film “by mistake” by clicking inadver- 

tently on the wrong button.

Protecting young 

people: 

Individual T-Online Video on Demand offers are pro- 

tected with an age verification system. These include, for 

example, films with an 18 rating viewed before 11 p.m. 

and adult films from the “Erotic Lounge” site. The 

T-Online age verification system ensures that only regis- 

tered and authorized users will be able to access these 

protected contents. Age verification is required by the Ju- 

gendschutzrecht (German Juvenile Protection Act). The 

T-Online age verification system was reviewed and 

approved by the Commission for Protection of Minors 

from Unsuitable Media Content (KJM). 

Individuals of legal age are allowed to register. Regis- 

tration uses the Deutsche Post “PostIdent” procedure. 

T-Com sends a special “PostIdent” coupon for age veri- 

fication purposes. Required data can be captured and 

sent to the Customer Service Department by producing 

this coupon and a valid identity card or passport at any 

branch of Deutsche Post AG. Authorization by the age 

verification system is checked by the Customer Service 

Department.

____________________________________________________________ 

T-Com's new all-in-one packages for voice and Internet communication 

have proven to be a resounding success on the market, with 3.6 million 

customers reserving one of the new bundled offers before the end of 2006. 

In its three versions of Call & Surf, T-Com combines voice and Internet 

communication to create integrated products and calling plans – adjusted to 

its customers’ needs and at very attractive prices. Two of the versions 

include a double flat rate for calls within T-Com’s fixed network and 

unlimited Internet access. T-Com is also putting together comprehensive 

packages for customers who only want a telephone line with the Calltime, 

XXL Local, and XXL Fulltime rates. These not only provide excellent 

conditions for calls to the German fixed network; they also offer low rates for 

international calls. The new calling plans for all fixed-network 

communication are tailored to customers’ requirements. Customers receive 

top-quality, all-inclusive telecommunications services at low, uncomplicated 

all-in-one prices.

Overview of T-Com’s all-in-offers: 

Call & Surf Basic: This all-in-one package combines an attractive offering 

for telephone communication with a T-DSL line and a volume rate for calls 

to the World Wide Web. Call & Surf Basic includes up to 240 free minutes 

for fixed-line calls within Germany, a T-DSL 2000 Internet connection, and 

an inclusive volume of one gigabyte (GB) for Internet communication. 

Starting at EUR 34.95 per month, Call & Surf Basic is the ideal package for 

customers who make few telephone calls but want to be reachable at all 

times. Call & Surf Basic is also an excellent choice for Internet novices. 

Call & Surf Comfort: The convenience package from T-Com for voice and 

Internet communication offers everything you need for trouble-free 

telephony and surfing – a fast T-DSL 6000 line and a double flat rate for 

unlimited telephone calls to T-Com’s fixed network and unlimited Internet 

surfing. Call & Surf Comfort starts at EUR 49.95 per month and is the right 

choice for those who are looking for full performance and far-reaching cost 

control. 

Call & Surf Comfort Plus: This top package now provides six convenience 

packages in one: a flat rate for Germany-wide phone calls to T-Com’s 

network, a flat rate for unlimited Internet usage, high-speed T-DSL 16,000 

access, a comprehensive security package, an e-mail package, and the 

“fixed-price installation” service package. Call & Surf Comfort Plus is 

available from EUR 59.95 per month. The all-in-one package is particularly 

interesting for customers who attach importance to maximum performance 

and maximum convenience at a set price. 

Calltime: The low-cost basic package includes a high-performance 

telephone line and up to 240 free minutes for calls to Germany’s fixed 

network at a monthly charge from EUR 19.95. The cost of additional calls 

remains low as well: With an analog line from the 121st minute – with a

T-ISDN line from the 241st minute – T-Com customers can place calls from 

a fixed-line phone at prices from 1.5 cents per minute. The package also 

includes low prices for international phone calls: Calls to people outside 

Germany can be made from as little as 4.6 cents per minute. Calltime is 

therefore the ideal calling plan for anyone who makes few telephone calls. 

XXL Local: With XXL Local, T-Com customers can place fixed-line calls to 

numbers with the same area code as well as to neighboring networks for 

zero cents. This all-in-one package comprising a convenient telephone line 

and innovative rate modules is available to T-Com customers for 

EUR 25.95 per month. This price includes all calls to the fixed network in 

the city area, regardless of when the calls are made and how long they last. 

The flat rate offer is therefore particularly suitable for people whose friends 

and contacts are mostly living in the extended area and who therefore make 

a large number of calls within their own and neighboring networks. XXL 

Local’s appeal also lies in its attractive prices for international calls, which 

are available from 4.6 cents per minute. 

XXL Fulltime: T-Com’s XXL Fulltime all-in-one package allows customers 

to make calls to the fixed network at a low fixed rate. For a monthly flat rate 

of EUR 35.95, customers can make all their calls in Germany’s fixed 

network for zero cents – round the clock and every day of the week. The 

low prices for international calls also apply to XXL Fulltime. Telephone calls 

beyond Germany’s borders can be made from just 4.6 cents per minute. 

The extensive flat rate offer is designed especially for people who have 

social contacts all over Germany and wish to have long chats with friends, 

acquaintances, or relatives without having to keep one eye on the clock. 

Fixed-price installation 

For a fixed price of EUR 49.98, T-Com’s technical customer service will 

install all hardware and software components reserved, i.e., PCs, PABX, or 

WLAN routers. With the Call & Surf Comfort Plus all-in-one package, this 

installation service is included in the price. Over 150,000 customers opted 

for the fixed-price installation in 2006.

Background information 

Download Portals from T-Com – The Load Family 

Online sales of legal downloads in the Internet are booming. A recent study 

of the industry association BITKOM predicted that download sales of music, 

games, software and videos would reach 120 million euros by the end of 

2006. That figure would represent growth of about 20 percent over the 

previous year. And T-Com, with its download portals Musicload, Gamesload 

and Softwareload, is extremely well positioned in this growth market, in 

which music is considered to be leading the way in sales of digital content. 

That category generated the highest volume of all categories last year, 

accounting for 86 percent of all downloads in 2006. Media Control reports 

that over 28 million digital music products were sold last year. That figure is 

10 million, or 48.16 percent, greater than the corresponding figure for 2005. 

This positive trend is expected to continue in 2007: forecasts call for the 30- 

million barrier to be broken during the course of the year. 

Musicload – The digital record store for everyone 

T-Com's Musicload, in business since October 2003, has been thriving with 

its music downloads. This is especially noteworthy in light of the special 

factors governing the success or failure of virtual shops in the Internet, 

where the competition is never more than a few mouse clicks away. Internet 

customers don't base their purchase decisions solely on price – they also 

give plenty of attention to service and convenience. In a word, the key 

criterion is "usability" – i.e. user-friendliness. Ideally, customers should find 

broad functionality combined with ease and simplicity of use. As the Stiftung 

Warentest product / services testing institute reported in 2006, Musicload 

already fulfills the criteria for ideal shops. In fact, the institute found 





www.t-online.de

Musicload to be the best in its class. Currently, Musicload's Internet 

presence is being revamped. When this process has been completed, the 

new-and-improved Musicload will boast a number of integrated new 

features, including Musicload Nonstop, a subscription-based streaming 

service that was launched in September 2006; new music-video downloads; 

audio books; and expanded classical and jazz sections. In spite of the 

additional content, the main emphasis of the revamping is on functionality, 

however. For example, the new functionality will provide the sort of detailed 

added information that jazz and classical listeners value, such as names of 

contributing artists. The new Musicload site will thus provide a range of 

additional information. At the same time, the site's basic look and feel, 

which has been well received, will remain largely unchanged. Soon, "do 

your own playlist" music TV for PCs will become available. Musicload has 

been offering music videos since December 2006. Along with nearly 2 

million songs, the site now offers downloads of over 1000 clips with national 

and international recording artists – including top stars such as Madonna, 

James Blunt, Red Hot Chili Peppers, REM, and many more. 

Gamesload – digital shopping for games 

Exciting developments are taking place in the PC-games market, for which 

experts are predicting a great future. This is another area in which the 

Internet is increasingly becoming a mainstream distribution channel. More 

and more, avid gamers are buying their games not in computer stores, but 

in the Internet, via download to their PCs. Two legal options for such 

downloads are available: a) one-time purchases of complete PC games, for 

download to the user's PC; b) term-limited license purchases, via a games- 

on-demand service, for online play of games throughout a license period. 

T-Com became one of the first major games providers in August 2005, 

when the company launched Gamesload, a digital shop for full versions of 

PC games. From the shop, users can download a large number of new and

classic games – about 480 at present – and try them out for a limited period 

before (perhaps) buying them. The games are encrypted; once a test phase 

has expired, the user has to purchase an activation key if he or she opts for 

continued play. Gamesload's range of products includes online games, 

which are played in the network, with no download and installation required, 

and an on-demand service, which offers online, for-pay playing of full 

versions of German-language PC games. 

Digital distribution is also opening up new opportunities for publishers. For 

example, because storage capacity is not a problem, publishers can now 

easily stock games even for very specialized customer groups (e.g. 

simulation games or special high-end versions). Yet another plus for 

Internet sales: vendors do not have to return unsold stocks, and that lowers 

costs. What is more, the Internet is reaching new user segments. For 

example, games sites have been attracting more and more Internet surfers 

who do not consider themselves avid gamers. Market researchers thus see 

an important future market in the electronic distribution of PC games. 

According to the market-research institute Jupiter Research, revenue 

generated in Germany with games downloads and games on demand 

increased fivefold, to ten million euros, from 2003 to 2005. And Jupiter 

Research forecasts dramatic further growth for the German market, to 73.7 

million euros 2 , by 2009. 

Softwareload – Software with a download guarantee 

In November 2006, T-Com launched Softwareload, its own online-sales 

platform for software. For its software sales, Softwareload uses the same 

logic Gamesload applies to PC games sales: the point of sale should be the 

point of use – namely, the user's PC. There should be no media 

discontinuties. The advantage for the customer: being able to get and use 

products very quickly. Currently, Softwareload offers more than 17,000 

software items, including many full versions from leading companies and

freeware and shareware. Many programs are available on a "try before you 

buy" test basis. A total of nine product categories are offered, including 

office & finances, multimedia, security and tuning. 

One of Softwareload's special features is a download guarantee: for each 

program a registered customer downloads, Softwareload automatically 

saves a personal back-up copy for the customer. Back-up copies are kept in 

a password-protected download center and remain available for unlimited 

download as necessary throughout a two-year period. In addition to 

protecting against unintended deletion, this simplifies the installation 

process for customers who upgrade to new new computers. 

The shop's navigation and user-assistance tools include a powerful search 

function, a linked list of top downloads, test reports from industry 

publications and product evaluations submitted by other Softwareload 

users. The shop also offers workshops, with step-by-step instructions, for a 

range of different programs. For technical support, the site offers email 

support and a low-cost telephone hot line that is available 24/7.
