Paul Donnelly, the operator's senior vice president and general manager for EUMA, commented, "We do not want to stay at the transport level and for a long time have wanted to move up the value chain.The network is a fantastic tool, but you need to move up the chain to expand and grow."In October, Equant announced it is to launch a fully managed and integrated business service for Lotus Notes and Domino as part of its declared strategic aim of becoming the world's leading ASP.Similar announcements have also be made by other big players in connectivity including AT&T, BT, KPNQwest and Sprint.

Application hosting itself is not new.Certain telcos have been hosting and managing Lotus services for several years, while companies such as NetStore have been supplying electronic software distribution and online back-up services on a fixed price, per seat, per month basis, again for a number of years.
