Old news, but what the heck we're so close to the IPO. it's worth rementioning. From today's S1/A: Strategic Relationships We have entered into strategic distribution, integration and advertising relationships with leading Internet and computer hardware and software companies. These relationships typically include arrangements under which we share with our strategic partners a portion of the revenue they bring to us. We believe that these relationships are important because they provide incentive to our partners and allow us to leverage the strong brand names and distribution channels of these companies to market our products and services. Our strategic partners include: Netscape Netscape has agreed to embed our PC2Phone software on an exclusive basis in future versions of Netscape's Internet browser released during the term of our agreement, including Netscape Navigator and Netscape Communicator. Netscape also has agreed to: . place a Net2Phone icon on the Netscape Navigator Personal Toolbar immediately to the right of the AOL Instant Messenger icon, which will allow Netscape users to use our Web-based Internet telephony services from anywhere on the Web simply by clicking on our icon; . integrate our services into, and prominently display our services on, Netscape Netcenter, including Netscape's Address Book Contacts section and Voice Communications section, which will allow Netscape users to make calls using our services simply by clicking on a displayed telephone number; and . include the software for our Web-based Internet telephony services in Netscape's suite of online plug-in software and Netscape Smart Update programs (both domestically and when available internationally) for downloading by Netscape users from centralized locations on Netscape's Web site. We also have the right to place a specified amount of banner and other advertisements on Web pages of our choice on Netscape's domestic and international Web site. The two-year term of our exclusive agreement with Netscape commences with the beta release of the next version of Netscape's Internet browser, which we believe will occur later this year. Yahoo!, Excite and InfoSpace.com In 1998 we signed an agreement with Yahoo!, which was recently renewed through 2000. Our Web-based Internet telephony service is integrated into Yahoo!'s People Search online telephone directory. As a result of this integration, an Internet user who performs a search on Yahoo! People Search can simply click on a displayed telephone number to initiate a call to that number. Under this agreement, we also have the right to have our banner advertising appear when an Internet user performs a word- or category-search for "Internet Telephony" or related phrases on Yahoo! Additionally, we have contracted with Yahoo! to integrate our PC2Phone service into Yahoo!'s Yellow Pages and White Pages online directories. Our Web-based Internet telephony software is also integrated into Excite's Web sites in its International Network, which includes the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, Italy, Australia, Sweden and the Netherlands. As a result, an Internet user in any of these countries will be able to click on any telephone number that appears on any page on these sites to initiate a call to that number using our PC2Phone service. In addition, our services will be prominently featured within the Excite International Network via advertising and promotion on various channels, including each member's homepage, business, technology/computer and travel channels, as well as the localized versions of My Excite, What's New/What's Cool and Mail Excite. We are negotiating with Excite to have our services integrated into Excite's United States Web sites as well. In addition, our Web-based Internet telephony software is integrated into InfoSpace.com's network of white and yellow page directory services. This network of sites includes all the white and yellow page listings in Netscape's Netcenter Web site, the Microsoft Network, the GO Network and Xoom.com. Other Strategic Relationships We also have entered into other important strategic relationships with other leading Internet and computer hardware and software companies, including: . Compaq. Our software is featured as a download from a special Compaq Web site accessible directly from the Compaq-branded keyboard, may be pre- installed on Compaq-branded computers distributed internationally and may be included with their other products. . Snap.com. Promotions for our services and a link to our Web site will be prominently displayed on the Snap.com Web site, and we are their preferred provider of PC-to-phone services. . ZDNet. We are the preferred provider of Internet telephony services for ZDNet and our Web-based Internet telephony service will be integrated throughout the ZDNet Web site. . Quicknet Technologies. Our PC2Phone software is integrated into Quicknet's telephone handset product called Internet PhoneJACK. . Bigfoot International, WorldPages/Web YP and Internet 800 Directory. Our PC2Phone service is integrated into these three popular online directories, which allow Internet users to call any listed telephone number simply by clicking on the displayed number.
