Consumer response is more than encouraging and proves that Q-Telecom is covering with a different way the needs of that part of the consumer base that choose to have quality services for lower prices with no obligations. The prepaid package we offer, Q-Card1, is the driving force for the growth of our subscriber base, while the Q1 package is an innovative program in the contract mobile telephony market with no fixed fees. The successful course is also due to the fact that our customers, home and corporate, have the ability for one stop billing for all their telecom needs, fixed telephony, mobile telephony and internet.? Mr Prigipakis has also mentioned that Q target for 5% market share by 2005 according to the results so far seems to be feasible and realistic.
