GOODBYE ................................................AND HELLO

............................................

It's rumored that from June 5th 2007, the TIM brand name will disappear from the Greek market place when the company rebrands to WIND.

The rebrand has not been officially confirmed by the company however it comes as no surprise as Orascom Telecom (the majority shareholder in WIND Italy) now own TIM Hellas and are currently paying TIM (Italy) for the use of their brand name.

The new domain name will be www.wind.com.gr rather than www.wind.gr as the .gr is already taken. However wind.gr was registered in 2005 indicating that this isn't a case of cyber squatting as was the case when TELESTET was rebranding to TIM only to find that leaked information lead to www.tim.gr being registered by the partner of an employee.
