LaunchingPad.Com Internet Telephony WrapUp August 14, 1999 Visit Us at launchingpad.com Live Chat Schedule: Chat Sessions begin at 9:30 EST 8/16...........................VOCLF 8/17...........................FCM 8/18...........................NSPK 8/19...........................BRKT launchingpad.com IT Index For the week ending 8/13 The IT Index composite value rose 1% the week of August 13th, but it was a scant gain compared to last week's freefall. Most issues were flat or bounced up slightly, except for the two largest percentage decliners from last week. Net2Phone(NTOP) and Clarent(CLRN) both moved sharply on positive news. NTOP's distribution pact with NBC's Internet sites, NBC.com and Snap.com, helped erase half of last week's 40% drop, with a 23% rise. Shares of Clarent were 14% higher, closing at $28.62, but 10 points lower then where they opened at the beginning of the month. RapidLink, who already has built their IP Telephony network with Clarent gateways, entered an agreement to utilize Clarent's technology to build an industry leading VoIP Clearinghouse solution to connect current and future customers to RapidLink's network. For 1998 RapidLink had $22 million in sales, which marks them as one of the more dynamic private IT companies. With RL's success in sales and minutes routed, over a 100 million minutes so far, IT investors should put them on their radar screen's for when they go public. Recent addition Teltran International(TLTG) rebounded from the recent downtrend and tacked on a 25% climb. This coming Wednesday's(3:30 EST August 18th) Fax-over-IP chat hosted on teltran.com will be led by industry heavyweights from 3Com and LANSource and is a must attend event for all interested in this growing field. Two members of the IT Index who couldn't shake the losses were Act Networks(ANET) and RSL Communications(RSLC). Shares of ANET and RSLC are well down from their recent highs and continued losing ground, 15% and 16% respectively. Arel Communications and Software(ARLCF) is splitting the company into the two natural divisions that already comprise their corporate structure, Interactive Distance Learning(IDL) and Internet Telephony. This will give shareholders the benefit of ARLCF's position in these emerging industries. Two new research reports were also made public this week, with new projections for the growth of the IT sector. Synergy Research Group expects a 677% increase in the sale of VoIP technology through the end of the year, and believes the IP-PBX will further the customer base. A large portion of all VoIP technology has been purchased by Carriers and Entrepreneurs whose primary business is based upon telecommunications, with very few orders being placed by the corporate world. As companies switch from legacy systems, a new surge of business should begin to materialize in the earnings of the IT Index. The strength of sales and profits will be necessary for IP telephony companies to withstand the downturns in the markets.
