SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Digitcom Corporation
(OTC Bulletin Board: DGIV) has located a point-of-presence in Australia, the
company announced today. The facility is sited to take advantage of a major

The Netro connection provides high speed Internet connectivity via
international links using the Asynchronous Transfer Mode/Frame Relay network
to deliver the most demanding Internet connectivity including: 2-8 Mb via
Satellite, and 10/100 Mb (10/100 Base-T). This enables voice over IP, data
and video traffic. The Netro backbone connectivity into the international
Internet network is carried via UUNet, terminating in Los Angles, and CWIX,
terminating in San Francisco.
Digitcom's wholly-owned Australian facility is to be run by Michael
Hoskins, a long-time Digitcom associate in that country. Digitcom's Australia
office is located at: Level 3, 53 Walker Street, North Sydney, NSW 2060.
"We're very happy that our inaugural network point-of-presence shares
Netro's link to the UUnet Internet backbone," said Jimmy Chin, Digitcom CEO.
"This will give us the opportunity to demonstrate Digitcom's Internet
telephone technology in an important new market for us. And, the addition of
Michael brings an energetic, technically savvy manager to the company."
Digitcom is a leader in Internet voice communications technology and is
deploying its Internet-based telephony products using the company's
"IntraVoice" gateway and voice compression technology, working with regional
and national telephone companies, ISPs, and PSTN resellers in Europe and on
