VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwire - July 31, 2008) - Alternet Systems, Inc. (
OTCBB:
ALYI) today
announced a public Webcast scheduled for Tuesday, August 5, 2008 at 12 pm
EDT featuring the Company's recently announced wireless E-Ticket technology
anticipated to process 24 million passenger transactions within the first
year of operation. A link will be made available prior to the Webcast.
Alternet has recently launched a communications campaign in conjunction
with the roll out of its proprietary E-Ticket solution. A new Investor
Fact Sheet is available featuring the Company's mass transportation
management services as well as the Company's recent expansion into
E-Transaction services.
Alternet recently acquired TekVoice Communications, Inc. to augment the
internal development of its wireless consumer E-Transaction solution.
Prior to the TekVoice acquisition, Alternet was a development stage
business. Through the TekVoice acquisition, Alternet has gained a proven
billing solution to compliment the Company's overall wireless E-Transaction
solution and a customer base with approximately $3 million in annual
revenue. Initially, Alternet will concentrate on delivering its
E-Transaction services in Latin America. The Company chose this region for
several reasons, including its high annual growth rate, large population,
dependence on public transportation and lack of formal banking for many
residents. Some highlights of Alternet's E-transaction business model
include:
-- Establishing a recurring revenue foundation through the Company's E-
Transaction solution by processing 24 million E-Tickets within the first
year following the solution roll out.
-- Sales campaign to market Alternet's mobile (cell phone and PDA)
transaction services to support electronic payment transactions in the
financial, telecommunications, and utility industries.
-- Strategic partnerships with established industry leaders to provide
additional technology enhancements such as video and voice security,
prepaid fare collection and green technology for mass transportation fleets
-- The benefits to potential clients using e-transactions, including
reduced "bad debts," improved operational and administrative activity,
increased payment flexibility and improved cash flow.
-- Imminent announcement of breakthrough E-Transaction contract in the
region.
