Eagle Ventures International's (Pink Sheets: EGVI) wholly-
owned subsidiary TelExtreme is offering its first voice-over-
Internet-protocol (VoIP) services within the United States. The decision
to enter the fast-growing U.S. VoIP market is part of a growth
initiative aimed at increasing the company's revenues to over $60
million for 2008.
TelExtreme intends to reproduce in the U.S. the very
sales/marketing model that has generated great success in overseas
markets, where sales rose from $30.1 million in 2006 to a projected $40+
million in 2007, with the increase being primarily attributable to
penetration into the Mexican and Latin American markets. In addition to
its projected U.S. expansion, the company anticipates growth
opportunities stemming from the organic increase of consumer interest in
VoIP-based telephone services.
TelExtreme President, Timothy Langston states, "There are
expected to be between 21 million and 24 million VoIP users by the end
of 2008 in the United States alone. By the end of 2010, that number
could be 30 million or more. Now is the right time to start positioning
TelExtreme to capture that growth."
Analysts estimate the VoIP industry in the United States generated
about $3 billion in sales in 2007. By 2010, experts feel the industry
could be driving anywhere from $4 billion to $10 billion in annual
sales.
Timothy Langston added, "Our entry into the U.S. is not only
an exciting time for our company, but also our shareholders. We expect
our sales process, which is through individuals to individuals -- rather
than through a corporate phone number or corporate website -- will
appeal to U.S. consumers. Too many current and potential VoIP
subscribers in the U.S. have had less than a great experience with their
choice of providers. We are firmly convinced the TelExtreme option
offers many things customers want, but aren't currently getting. As
such, we look forward to substantial revenue growth from our U.S.
operations."
The growth opportunity isn't limited to just residential
plans. A recent study found that while most plan on doing so, only about
25% of small business owners have converted their telephone service to a
VoIP plan.
