NetVoice Selected by DVX to Terminate Traffic in Colorado Springs DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 8, 2000--NetVoice Technologies (OTC BB:NTVTE - news), an emerging player in the Internet Protocol (IP) Telephony industry, today announced plans to extend its network to Colorado Springs through an agreement with Digital VoiceXchange (DVX). The arrangement allows for co-location of NetVoice gateways within DVX's network operations center and the availability of DVX enhanced voice services across the NetVoice nationally managed network. NetVoice will originate and terminate approximately 5 million minutes annually over its VoIP network through this partnering. ``In addition to the 5 million minutes, this contract allows us to readily expand into a new market, and enables us to offer a variety of our services for existing customers,' said Jeff Rothell, CEO and president of NetVoice. ``The agreement between DVX and NetVoice fills a critical need within our business plan,' says Dave Fuino, vice president of business development for Digital VoiceXchange. ``NetVoice has built a carrier-class network that will enable us to, among other things, launch true prepaid one-plus into 26 cities nationwide.' About NetVoice NetVoice Technologies, a provider of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services, distributes telephony-related products and services delivered via a managed VoIP network utilizing Level 3 (Nasdaq:LVLT - news) backbone, InterNap's (Nasdaq:INAP - news) patented routing & route management technology that avoids both public and private peering and is faster and more reliable than conventional Internet technology and a Cisco (Nasdaq:CSCO - news) Powered Network (CPN).
