To All,
12/19 12:21-PR: New Telco Service Allows ISPs to Inexpensively Offer Both Rockw
U.S. Robotics 56Kbps Service From Nearly All California Cities
STOCKTON, Calif., Dec. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Pac-West announced a unique new
Incoming Telephone Service for ISPs that for as little as a few dollars per
user per month, allows Internet Service Providers to offer 56Kbps service for
BOTH Rockwell and U.S. Robotics compatible modems. As soon as modems are
available from the manufacturers, ISPs throughout the U.S. can start offering
56Kbps service for BOTH Rockwell and U.S. Robotics compatible modems on a
local call basis from nearly every city in California with as few as 96
modems. With costs so reasonable, expanding their marketing area to provide
dial up Internet access, to many or most of California's almost 11 million
households, may be something every ISP should look at.
Pac-West Telecomm, Inc., a major California-based full service telephone
company, has been providing telephone services in California for over 15 years
and handles over 75 million calls each month.
Dividing California into a Northern and Southern region, Pac-West has
created Super POPs at one of its Central Offices in each of these regions.
ISPs can locate their modems in one or both of these Super POPs. Calls from
each area the ISP chooses to serve are transported to the appropriate Super
POP, and delivered to the ISP's consolidated modem pool. By consolidating
calls from throughout the region into one large modem pool, the ISP
significantly reduces the number of trunks and modems needed to provide the
desired grade of service. This also makes it very economical to serve smaller
population areas and to offer Local Access nearly anywhere in California.
Internet backbone providers make Internet connectivity available to ISPs
at Pac-West's Central Offices for exceptionally low rates, and Pac-West has
technicians available to help the ISP install and maintain all of their
equipment on a 7x24 basis.
When an ISP considers the opportunity to tap the entire California market
at such a low cost with Pac-West's flat rate foreign exchange service, and
take advantage of the 56Kbps dial up modem revolution that requires digital
trunks like the ones Pac-West provides, Pac-West's new Incoming Telephone
Service for ISPs may be an offer that many ISPs won't want to pass up.

information.
