(Pink Sheets:JRVE) releases JComm, a free Windows application enabling real-time voice over Internet chat. JComm's VoIP technology takes personal Internet into the next generation by enhancing the most dynamic personal communication with the power of real-time, online voice interaction. "The development of JComm means the opportunity to stay in touch with friends and family members, in a manner similar to a phone call, for free. If you enjoy text chat, you'll love JComm's crystal clear voice chat," said John Jarvis, Chairman and CEO of Jarvis Entertainment Group. "It's a small gesture of appreciation on our part to all of our users, and we hope that many of our overseas users will utilize this program to stay in touch with their families. Given recent events, we worked overtime on the release; I believe this type of secure Internet communication is a prototype for the future. This stage of JComm is absolutely free; eventually we will monetize the program by releasing a server side solution for business and private chat, but we plan on concurrently supporting a free client version for our users." JComm provides a turn-key voice chat application, scalable from a two party private chat to a site sponsoring dozens of chat rooms with thousands of users. JComm's real-time voice program will easily integrate cost-effective, real-time communication to a PC or business with little or no impact to existing infrastructure.
