During the year, the home page will be developed into a personal page that customers can tailor to get exactly the information they want and even get it delivered via their mobile phones. The hub of Europolitan's new Internet service is www.europolitan.se. From here, customers can go to various web sites, depending on their interests. "With a new structure and content, we can give customers even better service," says Mikael Kluge, Marketing Director at Europolitan. "But this is only the first step. The next step is to allow customers to make personal settings for the kind of information they want and then enable them to have it transferred to their mobile phones." From the main web site, customers can choose between 8 different websites to visit. At internet.europolitan.se, for example, customers can get the latest news and the weather forecast, courtesy of the Swedish Yahoo!.

Potential customers can, for example, send information about their calling habits and we will tell them which subscription would suit them best. Meanwhile, press.europolitan.se and investor.europolitan.se are web sites aimed at journalists and investors. And partner.europolitan.se is Europolitan's extranet, and has information for retailers with partnership agreements. This site requires a password.
