Pannaway also gained significant traction in the emerging CLEC (Competitive Local Exchange Carrier) An organization offering local telephone service that is not one of the traditional telephone companies. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 allowed competition to the incumbent telcos (ILECs), enabling new companies (CLECs) and municipality markets, signing REI Communications in Bartow, Florida. REI will leverage Pannaway's IP packet system to deliver reliable Triple Play services to as many as 200,000 rural customers in Central Florida. In addition to BMTS/BMI and REI Communications, Pannaway's new customers include Empire Telephone Corp. of Prattsburgh, NY and ETEX ETEX European Tracer Experiment ETEX Ethernet Tributary Extension Telephone Cooperative in Gilmer, TX.

See CIO and salary survey. of Pannaway Technologies. "Our primary customer base will always be the IOC community, but CLECs and municipalities represent a major growth opportunity for us as illustrated by REI Communications, who will leverage the Pannaway system to deliver state-of-the-art Triple Play services to over 200,000 residential and municipality subscribers and small businesses through the end of the year and into 2006. This market is emerging rapidly and we anticipate the signing of additional CLEC/municipality customers moving forward." In August, Pannaway announced that its Service Convergence Network (SCN SCN Scan SCN Sustainable Communities Network SCN System Change Number (Oracle) SCN Scientology SCN Suprachiasmatic Nucleus SCN Switched Circuit Network SCN Standing Committee on Nutrition (UN) (TM)) was accepted for listing by the United States Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service (RUS). Acceptance on the RUS List of Materials means that qualified RUS borrowers can use long-term, low-interest loans funded by the U.S. federal government to purchase Pannaway's SCN. Inclusion on the RUS List of Materials is an important milestone for Pannaway and will provide the company with opportunities to sell to rural telecom providers - a market that is generally more accepting of innovative technology solutions than larger telcos. Pannaway closed the quarter with a September nomination for the prestigious World Technology Awards. Sponsored by the World Technology Network, a global organization focused on bringing important emerging technologies to the forefront, the World Technology Awards are presented each year to outstanding innovators in the fields of communications technology, information technology, energy, nanotechnology biotechnology and space.
