VTPI Trading at .10 VISUAL TELEPHONE INTERNATIONAL, INC. FORGES STRATEGIC ALLIANCE With Former DOD Section Chief SOUTH HACKENSACK, N.J., July 27 /PRNewswire/ -- In an effort to capture a significant share of the emerging demand for video conferencing products within the Department of Defense ("DOD") and other Government agencies, Visual Telephone International. Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VTPI) announced today a strategic alliance with Mr. Robert F. Giordano, President of RFG Inc. Mr. Giordano recently retired after 35 years of government service where he was the Director of Research, Development, and Engineering for the Army's Communications Electronics Command. In this capacity, he was named the Army's System Engineer responsible for enforcing the Army's Technical Architecture and leading the initiative for bringing digital technology to the 21st Century Army. Mr. Giordano's responsibilities included communications, command and control, electronic combat, intelligence, information systems engineering, combat support systems, and installation infrastructure for all tactical, and strategic systems. He managed and directed programs totaling $1.2 billion and over 4,500 people. Mr. Giordano is a recognized expert in Information Technology throughout the DOD and in the commercial sector. Mr. Giordano brings to Visual Telephone International a firm understanding of the government process and the insight on how to interpret government strategies and requirements. His expertise will allow Visual to establish strategic alliances and implementation of concepts that will ensure a competitive edge in the expanding video conferencing market. As all government organizations continue to downsize, while remaining dispersed, the need for Video Conferencing capabilities to improve management efficiency and reduce cost will increase. In addition, major procurements are planned at the DOD to facilitate "Distance Learning" training of soldiers from remote locations as part of an integrated video training network. According to Mr. Giordano, "Visual Telephone's family of products are more advanced than their competitors and provide a significant capability to the DOD at lower cost. It is my desire to introduce their cutting edge technology to the responsible parties within the Army and private sectors."
