*1995: Deutsche Telekom renames the BTX service as "T-Online".
*Spring 2000: T-Online becomes the first major ISP in Germany to offer a flat-rate dialup plan for consumers. This was important because local telephone calls in Germany, including dialup access to ISPs, were not offered on a flat price per call (i.e., unlimited) basis. The flat-rate service was also offered to customers withISDN connections at the same price as for analog service.
*Spring 2001: T-Online announced the demise of the flat-rate dialup plan but offered a flat-rateDSL plan in its place.ervices
