TSIG News (below). CC Site now Open. Moving This Morning, Up 25%. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- TeleServices International Group, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: TSIG), a fully integrated provider of outsourced teleservices, announced today that its subsidiary, Compact Connection, Inc.(CCI) has entered the global online retail music market with a unique marketing -- technology concept that directly links business done on the Internet with powerful one-on-one personal transactions provided by TSIG. CCI will compete directly with online retailers Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN), CDNow (Nasdaq: CDNW), N2K's Music Boulevard (Nasdaq: NTKI) and K-Tel International (Nasdaq: KTEL). Compact Connection, a direct music retail company, sells CDs and cassettes online via its website www.compactconnection.com at discount prices competitive with other leading online music retailers. For those CCI customers not comfortable with giving credit card or personal information online (estimated to be over 40% of total Internet users), there is the immediate option of making a toll free call to 1-800-951-1111 to purchase music from a TSIG Call Center Service agent, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. CCI's website offers an impressive library of over 250,000 titles and has the ability to handle 10,000 transactions a day. To support its website program, TSIG has partnered with Muze, Inc., ENSO Audio Imaging, Inc. and Valley Media, Inc., leaders in their respective music fields. Unique to the Internet is Compact Connection's marketing of its MusicCard(TM), which provides purchasers the ability to buy CDs and cassettes at even greater discounted prices. The CCI MusicCard(TM) is also being aggressively marketed outside its website through CCI distributors and national sales. The company is establishing unique marketing programs with corporations and non-profit organizations where they share in revenues from selling their own customized MusicCard(TM). Robert Gordon, Chairman and CEO of TSIG, stated, "Internet companies are too hastily turning to online commerce as their sole business plan and are leaving behind the personal one-on-one communication that the telephone offers. Global online music sales are projected to rise to $1.8 Billion by 2001 from $71 million currently. Likewise, the teleservices industry grew to an estimated $81 billion in 1996, up from $34 billion in 1986. The numbers speak for themselves." He further comments, "TSIG continues to be in the teleservices business. The launch of our Internet based direct music retail company is just our first example of how these two technology based industries must grow hand in hand. We are one of the first to recognize the importance of it and are technologically prepared to keep pace with demand in the new millennium, never loosing sight of the need for personal interaction." TeleServices International Group, Inc. is a provider of fully integrated global teleservices to companies focused on selling products and services through toll-free numbers and the Internet. The Company's wide array of teleservices includes telephone sales/order capturing, customer service and product support as well as direct-response advertising.

PLRP boys and girls! This one you will all love! Major news next week and the following week. Small float and moves extremely fast. The first PR is scheduled for next Tuesday. PLRP: PLRP is another NSKY that is about to unfold. The really big and great difference between the two; PLRP has an extremely small float (1.8 million shares) and moves extremely easy under very little buying pressure. PLRP ran today from .34 to .50 on only 70,000 shares and ran again later in the morning from .37 to .54 on less than 100,000 shares. I also just found out from the CEO, Mr. Calkins; PLRP will definitely be having a PR next Tuesday. He said, it is official and I have already taken care of everything and we won't be seeing any delays. Mr. Calkins also said, " expect an announcement on an acquisition the week of the 28th of Sept. Mr. Calkins and PLRP are all new to the Public Arena, but I can tell he is very organized and very efficient. I also found out from a very reliable source that superstocks.net is going to initiate coverage on PLRP in the next 24-48 hours. For those of you who are un aware of Superstocks track record; 90% of the stocks they cover increase an average of 100-200% in less than one month.
