Portugal CTT to launch e-mail service
Portugal’s postal operator CTT-Correios de Portugal plans to launch a new e-mail service, it was reported on September 21, 2005.
CTT’s new e-mail box, called Caixa Electronica Postal, will be available as of the first quarter of 2006, the company’s chairman, Luis Nazare, said. Caixa Electronica Postal will be the first product in the segment of the digital services of CTT, Nazare added.
Initially, CTT will distribute a total 5,000 e-mail boxes to clients in the country’s public administration sector. The company targets later each Portuguese national to use CTT’s e-mail box. According to the company, the service will be free for the citizens in the country.
Apart from the new e-mail service, CTT is currently studying the opportunities to enter also the segment of hybrid mail services.
[Editor’s note: CTT registered a profit of 50.1 mln euro ($60.3 mln) from its activities in 2004, up 96.2 pct year-on-year, the Portuguese News Digest reported on March 4, 2005. The profit rose mainly due to the 2.5 pct year-on-year increase in its revenue to a total 707 mln euro ($851.3 mln) in 2004.]
