services

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 16, 1997--TradeLink International
Inc. (OTC:TRLK) has opened a sales office in New York City and has
begun to offer cellular phone sales and rentals, pager sales and
rentals, digital satellite service and discount long-distance through
its subsidiary, Bridgeport Telecom Inc. ("Bridgeport").
Sales are initially being conducted through Wireless USA Inc.,
which is expected to become a division of Bridgeport later this
month.
With offices in Miami and New York, Bridgeport is positioned to
offer communications services throughout the U.S. and throughout
most of the Caribbean. In many major markets in the U.S., Bridgeport
represents alternative local phone companies, providing pricing and
service that are highly competitive with the primary local phone
companies. Bridgeport also will be cooperating with its sister
company, ExpoLink Inc., to provide cellular phone and pager rentals
to trade show and convention exhibitors and attendees, and also will
use trade shows and other special events to offer its full menu of
wireless and long-distance services.
TradeLink's President, Richard Herbst, views the New York office
as an integral part of the company's ambitious plans to provide
nationwide communications services through innovative channels.
Herbst noted: "Bridgeport will continue TradeLink's goal of servicing
often over-looked markets. In New York, this might mean selling
through street fairs, universities, and professional associations.
In other parts of the country, it might mean county fairs, church
socials and quilting bees, riverboat casinos or theme parks.
Everyone is entitled to have communications alternatives, and
Bridgeport intends to provide them."
Bridgeport is actively seeking other wireless and long-distance
agents for consolidation and growth, and invites interested parties
with at least $1 million in gross business annually to contact Herbst
or Judi Jarvis, TradeLink's vice president and general counsel. |
