REPEAT/New revenue source for ISPs, on-line services and Web-site hosts announced.

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 5, 1997--QuadraCom LLC announced Wednesday at Internet World `97 being held here that it has created a way for any Internet-based company to increase profits and improve customer relations, with no work and no cost.

QuadraCom has developed the first entirely paperless telephone company designed exclusively for Internet users, with features and services available nowhere else until today.

"This product can be private labeled, essentially putting Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and On-line Service Providers (OLSPs) in the telephone business overnight, and bringing an additional $4 per customer per month directly to their bottom line," said Steve Edwards, QuadraCom's chief executive officer.

"In recent months it has become painfully obvious to ISPs and OLSPs that traditional telephone carriers consider their customers fair game," Edwards said, "and these carriers are offering a competitive Internet product, often with a telephone service tie-in.

"Now QuadraCom's marketing partners can meet the competition head-on with an aggressively priced, superior telecommunications product that can carry the ISP/OLSP's private brand," said Edwards.

"On price, we beat all advertised programs of the Big 3 carriers," said Lee Marc, QuadraCom's president. "On features, because of our Internet-based relationship with the customer, we offer what no one else has today: on-line subscription, 48-hour carrier change, on-line call history throughout the month, one number follow-me service, on-line address book, nationwide 411 service, name and address match to all numbers called, calling cards, on-line billing by credit card and on-line 24x7 customer service," Marc said.

"With our product, ISPs/OLSPs will retain more customers," said Marc. "Our market surveys show that customers will `stick' if they are receiving our value-added services from their supplier; this product is ideal for ISPs/OLSPs who want to offer their customers innovative and useful benefits," Marc said.

In addition, QuadraCom's telecommunications service can be a real money maker for any company with an Internet presence such as a search engine or a high-volume Web site. QuadraCom will share revenue received from customers with its marketing partners who help link them to its site, such as through banner advertising or hot icon links.

"This is a great way for a site owner to recoup some of its development investment at no work and no cost -- just pure profit," said QuadraCom's Marc.

QuadraCom is a Los Angeles-based privately held company that has aligned itself with leaders in the telecommunications and Internet worlds. QuadraCom's principals possess decades of high-level telecommunications and audiotext experience.

Further information is available on the company's Web site at www.quadracom.com. A press conference is scheduled at Internet World `97 on Thursday, March 13 at 10:30 a.m. in Room 409A. The Company's booth number is 1284.
