AT&T and BT will spend $2bn over the next three years in a bid to control the growing Web-hosting market.

The two telecoms giants have joined forces with Concert - their $7bn global venture that provides telecoms services to multinational customers, international carriers and ISPs - to build a network of 44 Internet data centres in 16 countries.

The centres will provide a range of services including applications, Web-hosting and networking professional services.

Between them, the companies have 14 Internet data centres already open for business in Italy, Spain, Switzerland, the UK and the US.

They plan to open 11 additional centres in Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, the UK and the US by the end of 2000.
