Covad Chief Marketing Officer Eric Weiss to Present at 2007 Channel Partners Conference & Expo.

Will Share Success Stories on Selling Voice Services to Small and Medium Businesses Through VARs and Dealers

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Eric Weiss, chief marketing officer of Covad Communications Group, Inc. (AMEX:DVW), a leading national provider of integrated voice and data communications, will participate on a panel titled "Bundle Up! VoIP CPE/Services Ease SMB Sales" at the 2007 Channel Partners Conference & Expo in Las Vegas. The panel, taking place March 4th at 3:30 p.m. PT, will focus on how service providers, such as Covad, and equipment makers are partnering to sell their Voice over IP services to small and medium businesses through Value Added Resellers (VARs) and other channel partners.

Covad strives to be the easy to do business with supplier for its valued channel partners by bucking the trend toward decreasing commissions, developing enhanced ordering and support tools, and delivering robust communications products, including hosted and non-hosted voice solutions, integrated access, T1, and high capacity fixed wireless broadband. ADSL 2+ and bonded T1 will join this innovative product portfolio later this year. The company has also recently introduced an enhanced commission plan featuring competitive commission rates, evergreen residual commissions, and a predictable quarterly bonus on all new customer revenue.

"Small business customers want a simple, bundled product sold by a local dealer who understands them and their business needs," said Weiss. "Channel partners want a supplier with a complete product portfolio and excellent service and support. Covad delivers on both counts, resulting in better local service and support for our customers, and an ongoing source of new business for our channel partners."

Covad has enjoyed considerable success by bundling its award-winning Covad ClearEdge voice services with industry leading PBX and IP-PBX systems from companies such as Cisco and TalkSwitch. The company has built an impressive network of thousands of VARs, dealers, referral partners, and sales agents that sell the entire portfolio of Covad's data, voice, and wireless solutions. Covad's nationwide footprint enables these channel partners to better serve their business customers with multiple locations.

"Small and medium businesses strongly prefer purchasing VoIP solutions from local dealers that they know and trust," said John Macario, the panel moderator and president of Savatar, a strategy and technology consulting firm specializing in the small business market. "Companies like Covad understand that they must equip their channel partners with the products, support and system tools they require to succeed in the marketplace."
