GLOBAL INTERNETWORKING LAUNCHES PRIVATE LINE PRICING SOLUTION.

Global Internetworking, Inc., Vienna, Virginia, a facilities- neutral telecom carrier, has roll-outed a new international data transport pricing and provisioning solution that dramatically expands access of U.S. telecom service providers to the international telecom marketplace while also giving foreign telecom providers the ability to obtain real-time, end-to-end price quotes to any U.S. business premise.

The new solution, version 4.0, is a major enhancement to pop2pop.com, Global's on-line pricing and quote management portal for private-line circuits within the U.S., and, with this announcement, adds more than 40 countries and 800 foreign metro markets. It is the first to provide telecom industry professionals with on-line, real-time data transport price quotes between some 40 foreign telecom markets and any location in the U.S. It integrates Global Internetworking's proprietary database of over 1,400 U.S. facilities based carriers and over 540,000 U.S. points-of-presence with the network data from more than 40 countries and 800 foreign metro markets.

"Over the past twelve months, we have seen a dramatic increase in demand for international data transport services from our customers," said Todd Vecchio, Global Internetworking's EVP of Sales. "They asked us to streamline their ability to quickly price out international private line circuits for their end-users, regardless of where they are located in the U.S. In parallel, foreign carriers have asked us to help them connect their major Points-of-Presence with the U.S. locations of their key customers."

Vecchio said: "The new version 4.0 of pop2pop.com is the first solution that seamlessly integrates international and U.S. network information and pricing and provides international pricing in seconds, not days or weeks. We believe it will save money, time and productivity for telecom professionals around the world."

Demand is being driven by the worldwide adoption of broadband data communications. According to the FCC October 2003 report Broadband Internet Access in OECD Countries, international broadband usage in developed countries increased by 83 percent between 2001 and 2002. According to Global Internetworking, the international edition of pop2pop.com addresses a real need for telecom carriers that want to expand outside their country-markets.

Judy Reed Smith, CEO of Atlantic-ACM, an independent telecom consultancy and industry analyst, said: "Up to now, international private line services have been the domain of the top 50 global telecom carriers. Solutions like pop2pop.com should help open up opportunities for both U.S. and overseas carriers to sell their capacity."
