Hookup's Corporate Profile looks good to me:
Corporate Profile
Incorporated in 1993, HookUp Communications has undergone tremendous
change since its purchase in December of 1995 by EMJ Data Systems Ltd.
Within months of the purchase, EMJ took HookUp public, raising enough
capital to purchase seventeen Internet service providers across Canada, as well as a national call center and a software development company.
Jim Estill, CEO of EMJ Data Systems Ltd. and HookUp Communication
Corporation, oversaw the strategic acquisitions and set for the company the goal of merging all of these units into a Canada-wide Internet service provider.
That goal has been achieved. HookUp Communication Corporation now offers the most extensive Internet network in Canada. With over 150 points of presence (POPs) across Canada, HookUp can provide over 80% of Canada's population with access to the Internet.
HookUp Communication Corporation has developed an all-encompassing
Internet strategy in order to guarantee success in the fast-paced
industry related to the Internet. We have set targets for each of our
four divisions, with the goal being to ensure growth in areas of the
Internet that have their own distinct challenges.
HookUp Business Internet is focused on the rapid adoption of the
Internet occurring within the business community in Canada. This
division has set for itself the task of enabling businesses,
particularly small and medium size businesses, to benefit from Internet services and gain a competitive advantage. HookUp Business Internet is located in fifteen urban centres across Canada. Auracom Internet Services is our franchise division, created to provide a community-based Internet service solution for rural areas and small communities in Canada. Communities wishing to become part of the Internet can purchase an auracom franchise and benefit from the services and support offered by HookUp.
Next Dimension provides businesses with the communications solution to meet their needs. Formerly Wollongong Canada, Next Dimension has branched out from a single TCP/IP product to carry one of Canada's
most extensive lines of communication software.
HookUp's Content Division is helping to ensure that HookUp's place on the Internet remains an interesting, content-rich environment. Net Innovations, an online and print magazine produced by the content division, is designed as a tool and guide for the business Internet community. Helping businesses develop and implement Web advertising strategies is also a key focus of the content division.
HookUp Communication Corporation has created the structure to allow it
to thrive in a competitive environment. The divisional approach provides enough separation to allow each group to focus, while the organization as a whole provides complementary services and expertise.
HookUp and EMJ Data Systems Ltd. have maintained the objective of
providing EMJ's extensive network of value-added resellers (VARs) with a sales package for HookUp products and services. In Canada, EMJ's primary distribution network is comprised of 4,000 value-added resellers (VARs). Access to this network will enable HookUp to expand existing numbers of small and medium-sized business customers rapidly and cost-effectively. In addition, these VARs will provide an invaluable distribution channel for the value-added software products being developed by HookUp Communications.
Current products and services are targeted to three markets: high-speed access; business dial-up; and, personal dial-up. New services and products to be offered focus on educational and training services designed to help customers implement Internet applications that will provide productivity and bottom-line solutions.
HookUp Communication Corporation is the one Internet provider in Canada able to meet all of your Internet needs, whether business, residential, or VAR. Come grow with us.
