Orange UK launches corporate push-to-talk

Orange has launched Talk Now, its commercial "push-to-talk" service, following nine months of customer trials across Europe, according to The Register.

"This is the first European launch of the technology by Orange. The company plans to launch in France and Switzerland later in 2004.

The modified walkie-talkie service allows the user to broadcast messages to as many as ten people at once. As part of the launch in the UK, Talk Now is available on a promotional tariff where groupcalls are charged at the same rate as standard mobile calls."
