Deutsche Telekom Brings Download Service Softwareload to UK
October 2009 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Deutsche Telekom launched its Softwareload download service in the UK. Softwareload.co.uk aims to become the place for Web users to purchase software from various application providers.
Products available at launch span categories such as anti-virus and security, data protection, photos and graphics, plus personal interest, leisure, Internet and browser software. Visitors can find products such as G Data security products, MAGIX photo and video applications, Nuance PDF apps and Nero burning software, alongside dozens of other applications. Customers can store their purchases for up to one year in the ‘My downloads’ section. This service is free for customers signing up before the end of 2009 and £4.99 thereafter for 12 months’ secure product storage. Softwareload.co.uk users can also benefit from customer support by both phone and email.
Softwareload’s target market includes frequent Internet users who may not be experts but probably have some experience downloading software in the past and want a new one-stop portal for finding applications. Softwareload users can pay with their credit card or PayPal.
