SHCC-Saratoga Telecom, a wholly owned subsidiary of Saratoga International Holdings Corp. (OTC BB:SHCC), announced today it has entered into a cooperative marketing agreement with MediaRing Inc. to distribute MediaRing's world-renowned Internet communications software. Per terms of the licensing agreement, Saratoga will distribute MediaRing's Internet voice communications software packages via Saratoga's pre-paid calling card Web site located at talkischeapcard.com. MediaRing's fully functioning software downloads will be free of charge to visitors of the "TalkisCheapCard" site and will allow users to take advantage of MediaRing's outstanding PC-to-PC and PC-to-phone voice features. Saratoga is privileged to partner with MediaRing to distribute the following proprietary MediaRing products over Saratoga's Web site: - MediaRing Talk(tm): Next Generation Internet voice communication software that lets users make FREE long distance and international calls between PC's. - MediaRing ValueFone(tm): Allows users to make worldwide long distance calls from a PC to any regular telephone anywhere in the world at a fraction of the cost of regular long-distance or international telephone calls. As part of the Agreement, Saratoga Telecom will be allowed to "I.D." Internet users who download MediaRing's products from the "talkisCheapCard" site, and participate in revenues generated by use of the toll features available with MediaRing's software. Tom Morsey, president of Saratoga Telecom, says Saratoga is paving the way for upcoming Internet telephony opportunities through partnerships with industry leaders such as MediaRing. "Voice and video telephone calls over the Internet will soon be commonplace. We are aggressively aligning ourselves with emerging technology developers to assist them in the marketing and distribution of tomorrow's communications products," said Morsey. Morsey concluded, "Saratoga Telecom views the MediaRing agreement as an opportunity to be the 'first vendor' of MediaRing's technology to outlying areas such as Central and South America. By offering phone-to-phone, PC-to-phone and PC-to-PC communications access, Saratoga seeks to establish itself as a brand name affordable source for personal and business communications needs in overpriced second and third world markets."
