5th
March 2004
The
RFU has joined forces with Business Serve plc to form Englandrugby.net, the
official Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the Rugby World
Champions
The Rugby Football Union (RFU) has today
announced that they have joined forces with Business Serve plc, a leading
Internet Service Provider, to offer high speed Broadband Internet Connections to
England Rugby Supporters through the launch of Englandrugby.net.
Charles Allen, RFU Commercial Manager, says
"The broadband market is rapidly expanding with 30,000 new users signing up to a
variety of packages every week. Interest in the game of rugby is at an all time
high and we will now be able to promote an England Rugby focused broadband
service to our fans."
Englandrugby.net will provide a unique
broadband service for the rugby community combining multiple email accounts,
anti-virus and anti-spam protection, ensuring that England Rugby supporters have
the option of a fast, reliable and secure Internet connection for the whole
family.
To help optimise sales of the package,
Business Serve plc has created an easy to use online ordering system linked to
from www.rfu.com and has priced the service competitively
at just £27.99 inc VAT per month with no BT set-up charge, saving fans £58.75 by
connecting to the service.
William
Jones, Indirect Sales Manager at Business Serve, says "We are
delighted to be working with England Rugby and to offer such a comprehensive
broadband product to its supporters. The profit generated by this venture will
be invested back into the game at its grass roots."
Englandrugby.net will specifically be
supporting the work of the RFU Rugby Development Officers (RDOs) in their roles
of promoting and developing the game at grass roots level by providing the RDOs
with 40 free broadband connections and the modems. As the RDOs spend much of
their time working in areas of the country remote from Twickenham, these
broadband connections will help to improve communication with HQ.
