UK-based Vodafone has signed an agreement with BT that will allow it to provide fixed-line services.

The company says in a statement that it has signed an agreement with BT Wholesale to provide its customers in the UK with Vodafone-branded consumer fixed-line broadband services.

Vodafone expects to launch the offering, which will complement its existing mobile services, before the end of the year.

"Today`s announcement is a strategically important step in the evolution of Vodafone`s business in the UK," says Vodafone UK CE Nick Read.

"Choosing BT as our partner enables us to provide high-quality fixed-line broadband services to customers quickly and cost-efficiently right across the UK, and this perfectly complements our national mobile coverage and mobile broadband ."
