| Enables companies to produce up-to-date, daily or weekly internal news for their employees with information about new products, new corporate strategies, the company’s current share price or key company statistics, such as staff numbers or sales figures. All employees can listen to this news at any time by calling the relevant number from any telephone. Can also be used with daily ‘quick tips’ for staff training. This feature becomes particularly interesting when used in conjunction with the musiw@b® download function, which allows a company’s latest news to be distributed overnight automatically all around the world. This form of information distribution can also be used for general-release news by making relevant information available to customers via published hotline numbers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Useful, for example, to stockbrokers: Televisions are on in the office broadcasting pictures from the stock exchange floor. However, the sound is switched off. When an interesting news item appears, staff in the office can hook in to the TV’s live sound by a simple touch of a button on their telephone, and listen in for as long they want without disturbing anyone else. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| A company wants to make certain news channels available to its staff, e.g. special interest radio stations. Some of these, however, are available only via the Internet. To avoid every employee having to have a radio at their desk or – in the case of Internet radio services – a data-intensive audio stream, significantly slowing down all of their PC’s other functions, information is centrally imported and distributed in such a way that staff can ‘call up’ news items as often and for as long as they like. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| If employees are frequently dialling up information services available via the public telephone network, such as the speaking clock, weather forecasts, traffic or share price news and so on, this can add up to a not insignificant cost for the company. In such cases, it can be better to gather this information at a central point or even for a company to produce the information itself, so that it can then be made available via free, internal calls. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
