NEWS ANALYSIS " DGIV announced the signing of a letter of intent with the White Knight Group (WKG) of Abu Dhabi committing the parties to the establishment of a joint venture company to be headquarted in the United Arab Emirates." Again, in keeping with DGIV's strategy, this is a joint venture, a win-win relationship with another foreign government! "The joint venture company will work to extend the Digitcom Network in the Middle East using the company's Internet Protocol voice and data communications products along with traditional long distance services. " Extend = grow beyond what is already there. Internet Protocol = method to send voice and data over packet switched networks, the heart of DGIV's technology Traditional LD services = this joint venture company will have the look and the feel of a traditional phone company. Whether the voice/data goes over packets, or analog as in traditional service, it will all be transparent to the user "Digitcom-UAE" will be the exclusive representative for Digitcom's IP- voice and long distance service to the United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Brazil and Argentina. " Folks, we are "spanning the globe." Notice the link between the Middle East and South America. Mmmm... wonder what kind of cable/satellite links might be most effective there? "WKG will make suitable facilities available for Digitcom to open corporate offices in Abu Dhabi in anticipation of the registration of the United Arab Emirates company. " Again, by working with local groups, our entry is facilitated, unlike the telcom giants who have to go in and try to elbow the locals out of the way. "Digitcom is a leader in Internet voice communications technology and is deploying its Internet-based telephony products using the company's "IntraVoice" gateway and voice compression technology. " 43:1 compression using UNIX-based gateways is state-of-the-art So there you have it, folks, hold on tight to your shares!
