The Company had previously announced its offering of these programs in six states. GTC Telecom long distance rates have challenged the industry and compete fiercely with rate programs offered by AT&T (NYSE:T) and Sprint (Nasdaq:FON). The states that GTC Telecom is now offering its long distance services are as follows: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming and Washington D.C. To sign up today for long distance services, customers should call 888/935-5959. Additionally, customers in these states will be able to sign up via the Company's web site by April 1, 1999. In addition to the above mentioned programs, GTC offers an array of Internet services, including wireless T1 access. The Company has been adding customers at a steady rate and continues to generate new business daily. Founded in 1997, GTC Telecom is an interexchange carrier, providing long distance service to small and medium sized businesses as well as residential customers throughout the United States. GTC's long distance service offerings include outbound service, inbound toll-free 800 service, and dedicated private line services for data. GTC's position as an interexchange carrier gives the Company the ability to function as a large telecom company but alleviates the overhead, thus allowing GTC to have rates lower than many of their competitors.
