Hi Buckey; Here is the latest from Infocast: IFCC : INFOCAST CORP (OTC:BB) IP-Based System Enables Cost Effective Work-at-Home Agents InfoCast Selects CosmoCall for 'World's First Completely Virtual Call Center HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- CosmoCom Inc., (http://www.cosmocom.com), the leading provider of pure IP-based call center technology, has been selected by InfoCast Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: IFCC), to supply the platform for its virtual call center service. InfoCast's service allows call centers to supplement their personnel with InfoCast-trained agents working from their homes. InfoCast allows traditional brick and mortar companies to staff call centers for the steady-state, mid-range call volumes at which they are most efficient. The virtual call center outsources the excess volume during peak periods and all activity during the slowest periods to at-home agents on a cost-effective pay-per-call basis. In this way, the virtual call center also offers a complete alternative to a traditional call center. InfoCast's initial order for 300 agents, now in training, will make them CosmoCall's largest site to date. InfoCast expects to deploy more than 2,000 agents in the next 12 months. "CosmoCall's pure-IP technology is exactly what we needed to implement the work-at-home model that is central to our business plan," said Jamie Hines, Executive Vice President of InfoCast. "With a single IP connection for both voice and data, home working is a very cost effective alternative, even for telephone work. And, as we offer the live Internet and web-based support that CosmoCall also enables, the benefits we derive from the system will be even greater." "InfoCast shows great vision in creating the virtual call center as a part of their overall application service provider program," said Ari Sonesh, CosmoCom's President and CEO. "We are proud to be providing an enabling technology that will help InfoCast differentiate their offering and become a leading ASP." About CosmoCom Inc.
