CELEBRATION, Fla., August 24, 2006 – VoX Communications Corp., eLEC Communications Corp.'s (OTCBB: ELEC) wholesale and retail provider of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services nationwide, today announced a Master Agent agreement with DTNet Technologies, a value-added distributor of broadband, wireless and VoIP products. DTNet Technologies will market VoX's hosted digital voice platform to its customer base, which includes National Cable Television Cooperative (NCTC) member companies. The solution will help providers, many of whom are existing DTNet clients, better attract and retain customers with an affordable digital telephone offering.
The popularity of digital telephone services is increasing, largely driven by lower costs, aggressive International rates and Internet-enabled features such as the ability to check voicemail online and obtain a virtual phone number outside of the subscriber's calling area.
"VoX's high quality, feature-rich digital voice platform allows cable providers to launch private labeled digital phone services quickly and inexpensively," said Bill Burbank, CEO at DTNet Technologies. "The platform delivers all of the latest features that customers want, while giving cable providers the flexible backend tools and automated systems required to effectively bill and support a voice offering. VOX VoIP Services provide a solid, easy to implement and comprehensive solution that fits nicely into our Enhanced Services line-up."
"We are proud to offer a digital voice platform that meets DTNet Technologies' high expectations for quality, reliability and usability," said Mark Richards, Chief Information Officer at VoX. "Cable providers are in the enviable position of having a captive audience and the means to deliver a triple play broadband Internet, phone and television solution. Unfortunately, building the voice component of that solution from the ground up is time and resource intensive. Moreover, there are very few wholesalers out there who are properly focused on the unique needs of the resellers in this space. VoX is one of them and we look forward to a successful partnership with DTNet Technologies."
