" Executive Vice-President and the developer of IPVoice's TrueConnect IP Telephony technology Anthony Welch added, "TrueConnect provides IPVoice with the ability to provide our customers with the tools to set up an entire telecommunications network.

Now we are getting calls from companies like GTE (NYSE: GTE) and Lucent (NYSE: LU) asking us to buy our products," said Harrer. Planet City Software, Inc.
