did u see datawaves previous press releases with the deal with AT&T
''Prepaid calling is one of the fastest growing segments of the telecommunications industry, and AT&T is wholly committed to being the leader'', said Mark Evans, Director of AT&T PrePaid Cards. ''DataWave's turn-key merchandising program and leading-edge technology solved many of the fundamental problems associated with selling prepaid calling cards. The prepaid card industry has grown rapidly over the last few years, and we fully expect this significant growth to continue.''
According to Clive Barwin, President of DataWave Systems, ''I anticipate this agreement having an enormous impact on our business, allowing us to leverage a relationship with one of the world's most successful marketing and sales forces, giving us access to crucial markets where AT&T is a powerful player. Though DataWave already operates in over 2,500 sites in North America, we anticipate that working with AT&T will help DataWave gain access to additional outlets where AT&T maintains relationships. For example, the hospitality industry represents a very large portion of the prepaid calling card market, and AT&T has a major presence in the hospitality industry.''
this will give dctc a strong foothold in the US also with the AT&T name allowing us to penetrate the general marketplace like malls, airports, universities, hotels, etc etc
wonder how much dctc will be willing to sell its 60% stake for?
