WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Sept. 21, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Vocalscape Networks, Inc. (OTCBB:VOSC) (Vocalscape) with Peoplefone AG announced today the launch of the Peoplefone Austria (peoplefone.at) VoIP services as well as a revenue sharing partnership for this new market.
The Peoplefone VoIP network now provides cost competitive voice communications to the retail mass market in both Switzerland and Austria using Voice over IP technology from Vocalscape. Peoplefone is available through big box retail stores including all Swiss and Austrian Media Markt and Saturn-Filialen stores as well as online at peoplefone.at.
Vocalscape has been a stakeholder in Peoplefone AG since the launch of their services in Switzerland and continues to actively support Peoplefone through service contracts and assistance in entering new markets. The relationship gives Vocalscape a foothold in the European marketplace and Peoplefone a strategic technology partner. Together, the two companies will look to expand into more markets in Europe.
"Vocalscape's unwavering support has allowed Peoplefone to launch VoIP services in Austria very quickly after our initial launch in Switzerland," stated Christophe Beaud, Chairman and CEO of Peoplefone AG. "The Vocalscape VoIP solution gives our customers quality voice services at very competitive rates and gives Peoplefone a solid technology platform from which to expand our services into new markets."
"Since their successful launch in Switzerland, Peoplefone has been a marquee client of Vocalscape. With this new venture, Vocalscape and Peoplefone have gained a stronger foothold in the European marketplace," said Ron McIntyre, President of Vocalscape Networks, Inc. "What is noteworthy about Peoplefone is that they are successfully delivering VoIP service with very little need for customer support, traditionally a heavy resource burden for Telcos. Customers are able to self manage all aspects of the service with an easy-to-use web-based interface leaving Peoplefone free to focus on expanding to new markets."
