Talk Visual Launches Pilot Program for Voice-Over-IP
Business and Technology Editors
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 8, 1999--(OTC-BB: TVCP). TALK VISUAL
CORPORATION announced today the launch of an international
voice-over-IP pilot program.
According to company president Eugene Rosov, now headquartered in
Brussels Belgium, "we are this month launching a major effort to add
deployment of voice-over-IP to our video-over-IP activities. There is
exponential growth of IP facilities worldwide. The developing world's
demand for quality Internet service and facilities, combined with the
growing expertise of equipment providers such as Cisco (CSCO), is
creating a vast new opportunity for low-cost, high-quality video and
voice-over-IP transmission. We intend to capitalize on these
opportunities."
Mr. Rosov has been developing video and voice-over-IP
opportunities in Brussels, headquarters of the European Economic
Community and a center for expatriate populations from North and
Central Africa and Asia Minor.
"The opportunities for deploying voice-over-IP into Morocco and
Turkey from Brussels are exceptional," said Rosov. "Using both video
and voice-over-IP, we plan to link expatriate populations in France,
Germany and Belgium with their families in Morocco, Turkey and
throughout Central Africa. We will be able to provide these
expatriates with higher quality and lower-cost services than are
currently available through traditional public switched telephone
networks (PSTNs). These services integrate quite well with our video
reservations, which require a point-to-point voice call for setup,
time and location confirmation between the clients."
This week, the company will begin to deploy voice-over-IP traffic
between several of its international locations. During the next three
months it will open points of presence in the northern tier of Morocco
and in Turkey for the purpose of launching IP calls into its new
videocall and voice call center locations. "We will open the
Brussels-to-Tangier route within sixty days," declared Mr. Rosov.
"We are currently exploring the opportunities with major telecom
partners to participate in the expansion into other developing
countries" he said. "The ongoing migration of traditional voice
traffic to voice-over-IP is creating exceptional opportunities for new
services, and new profits. We are in a unique position to deploy
services and technologies inaccessible to the major carriers."
Mr. Rosov explained that "by using our new call center
relationships in Brussels and Morocco for launching and terminating
voice calls, enabled with E-1 connectivity into these video and voice
call centers, we will provide very low marginal cost transmissions on
our virtual private network. We believe the profit potential is
excellent, and will occur rapidly."
Commenting on these new and vibrant high-margin services, company
Chairman Michael J. Zwebner said "This type of high-quality, high-tech
innovation typifies the products our company can deliver. We intend to
be the world leader in commercializing the Internet for retail
videocalling and point-to-point voice-over-IP on a global basis. It
allows us to serve our business and consumer clients at lower costs,
and with better quality."
A list of all the company's videocalling shops is available on
the company's website at www.talkvisual.com. The site describes
continuing international operations and also allows visitors to order
a regular monthly mailing of the company's impressive full-color
newspaper. The third edition of the newspaper is now available.
