Business Editors/Technology Writers

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 13, 2002

Access Power, Inc., (OTCBB:ACCR), announced today the planned second quarter launch of PowerConferenceCall(TM), an audio conferencing service.

Audio conferencing is a segment of the collaboration industry, which also includes web-based conferencing such as video, chat and application-sharing. Estimates of the overall collaboration industry are about $3 billion in annual revenue, most of which is currently in North America. Forecasts are for an annual compound growth rate of about 30% that could grow the industry to over $10 billion within five years.

PowerConferenceCall(TM) is designed to be easy to use, feature rich and value-priced. The initial market focus is on small and medium-sized professional services firms most likely to respond to the combination of ease of use, features and value.

Glenn Smith, CEO, said, "We are entering the collaboration industry in the largest segment - audio conferencing - utilizing the public switched telephone network. Longer term, we believe that the growth will continue to shift to more elaborate collaboration product suites that draw increasingly upon Internet-based features - ultimately we should see even the audio conferencing portion shift to the web, a shift we will promote and service."

PowerConferenceCall(TM) will be introduced by integrating conference bridge facilities into existing infrastructure and developing new web and telephony based interfaces. Conference bridges, the underlying technology component that supports audio conferencing, allows a company's geographically-dispersed employees and associates to participate in an audio conference call, and to manage how these calls are conducted.

Brad Benton, recently-appointed President and CFO, says, "Our first phase of operation will be feature-rich and easy to use, so that the tools are there if you want them but they won't be in your way if you don't. For example, you can start a PowerConferenceCall(TM) as soon as an issue arises using an assigned toll-free number and dialing out to multiple participants. Or you can set-up a call in advance to send notifications, reminders and get detail of who was on when. In any case, there is a complete suite of features available during the call to manage everything from security to interaction controls to how calls start and end."

To date Access Power has completed business planning, design and initial development for PowerConferenceCall(TM).
