I-Link and IP Communications Partner to Bring Enhanced Internet Telephony to Consumers

IP Communications to Market I-Link's Enhanced Services

DRAPER, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 6, 1999--I-Link (Nasdaq:ILNK - news), an enhanced voice/data service provider, today announced a sales and marketing partnership with IP Communications. Under the terms of this agreement, IP Communications will market and sell I-Link's Internet Protocol (IP)-based enhanced services to its broad customer base of consumers and Internet service providers (ISPs). I-Link's communications services are designed to deliver the highest levels of voice quality and functionality in the most easily managed platform. This is accomplished, in part, by integrating all telephone, cell phone, pager, fax, email and personal computer equipment into a single telephone number and offering next-generation services for all of those communications mediums.

In addition, IP Communications will incorporate I-Link's ``Net-Link IP' customer communications control center into its own MetaHub application center. Net-Link IP provides homes and small business customers the ability to connect up to 24 internal extensions to a single communication line (ISDN, DSL, etc.). The integration of Net-Link IP with MetaHub will allow users to access their centralized messaging accounts through a completely personalized Web site that they can design themselves without knowledge of HTML or other programming languages. Customers will have the ability to go through any Web browser and check voice and e-mail messages, share messages, change caller options and post customizable directories for site viewers.

Through this agreement, IP Communications has become a reseller of I-Link's technology and will market the product through their channel that consists of over 100 agents. IP Communications will offer enhanced services packages to these market segments under their own brand name and co-brand the product with I-Link's ``Enhanced by I-Link' tag line. Using these services, customers will have access to a variety of communications features over I-Link's own IP-based network. These features include: one-number call routing, caller screening, unified voice, fax, pager and e-mail messaging, voice-and fax-on-demand and twelve-way conference calling.

``Our customers, whether they are business-to-business or business-to-consumer, are demanding new enhanced services all the time,' said Tim Trueblood, president, IP Communications. ``I-Link is able to provide all of the necessary services today and we are secure knowing that as new features become available, they can be easily added to the package we offer. I-Link gives our company the opportunity to offer the highest quality of technology available.'

The integrated application center will be available from IP Communications in January. Pricing has not been determined.

finished off my position on ADSP at 8 5/8. time for a short squeeze...it's been straight down from 55. time for a bounce. even a couple of points can be significant at these levels.
