Don't we have some connection with Charter: Charter Marks Latin American Network Milestone With Eight New Communications Licenses in Panama PR Newswire - July 21, 1998 09:13 HOUSTON, July 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Charter Communications International, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CHTD) Senior Vice President of International Operations Bill Comee today announced a Latin American network milestone with the Panama Ente Regulador de los Servicios granting Charter eight new communications licenses. Comee, experienced in Latin American communications, stated that while access to Panama's public switched telephone network service is exclusive to Cable & Wireless until 2003, the new 20-year licenses significantly bolster Charter's U.S. and Latin American satellite Internet and telecommunications capabilities. In addition to its existing services in Panama, Comee pointed out that Charter can now give customers expanded Internet services, fax storing and forwarding, value added services, data transmissions, data switching, international private line, satellite teleport services, and wireless and VSAT services. "Our expertise and network strength set us apart in Panama. With the recently launched satellite teleport in the Colon City, Panama free trade zone, Charter now has two satellite teleports providing Panamanian clients with reliable custom services at very competitive pricing," said Comee. Charter's dynamic communications network delivers satellite Internet and telecommunications connections for those businesses operating between the U.S., Mexico and Central and South America. Comee said that Charter recently opened its new satellite teleport in San Jose, Costa Rica, and is rapidly developing new custom communications services under the more than 20 satellite, Internet and telecommunications licenses it has acquired from nine Latin American nations. He added, "Charter is pursuing additional licenses as privatization of communications evolves across Latin America. With robust economies, large and capable workforces and the support of the governments and local communities, substantial numbers of international companies are migrating to the region. Our goal is to provide the vital communications linking these organizations to their global networks." Charter Communications International, Inc. (Web site at c-com.net information at rames@c-com.net) provides customers with custom Internet, telecommunications, telecommuting and pre-paid calling card services.
