NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 7, 2000--deltathree, Inc.,
(Nasdaq: DDDC.O), the IP telephony network and provider of
Internet-based communication services for businesses and individuals
worldwide, announced today that it has added Points of Presence (POPs)
in China and Brazil, expanding the company's network to 107 POPs in
over 40 countries.
The success of deltathree's partnership with China United
Telecommunications Corporation (China Unicom), for which deltathree
enables China Unicom to distribute Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
calling cards throughout China, resulted in the network expansion
within the country. POPs allow calls to be routed through the least
expensive connections in a given geographic area. The more POPs that
are available in a region, the more options deltathree or a corporate
partner such as China Unicom has to route calls inexpensively. Also as
part of its latest network expansion, deltathree has added POPs in
Buenos Aires, Argentina and Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
"This latest expansion of our network is proof positive that major
international telecoms can benefit greatly from incorporating VoIP
into their own services," said Jerry Norton, Vice President, Site
Development of deltathree. "It also will allow us to increase the
minutes we route on our network which will have a positive impact on
our revenue stream."
