EMBARQ has reached several key milestones since its separation from Sprint Nextel on May 17, 2006, and now says that it has emerged as an innovative provider of communications solutions.
During its first six months as a stand-alone company, EMBARQ introduced its residential and business customers to several solutions designed to help meet their daily telecommunications needs. The company says these solutions are part of the cits complete lineup of communications and entertainment services, including local and long distance, data, high-speed Internet, wireless and DISH Network television services.
"In just a few months, we have delivered many 'firsts' to the U.S. telecom market," said Dan Hesse, EMBARQ chairman and CEO. "Customers want their products and services to work together, and this is the kind ofpractical innovation we intend to bring them."
"EMBARQ has been actively reinventing itself since its split away from Sprint. It is the best of old and new telecom firms," said Jeff Kagan, telecommunications industry analyst. "They have introduced many innovative new ideas to the marketplace. They have been transforming the company and have been focused on implementing integrated products and services."
The company sited several innovations as important for its growth as a company, including new voicemail services and high-speed network enhancements.
