Bruce Hahn, Chief Executive Officer of American Telecom Services commented, "American Telecom Services has completed the first two critical phases of its evolution, successfully bringing several new DECT 6.0 home phones bundled with services to market and selling them through more than 15,000 retail locations nationwide, including some of the largest retail chains in the U.S. We are now enhancing our efforts to expand and manage our subscriber base, which contributes to an increase in our recurring revenue and to the Company's path to profitability. Janice brings a solid base of experience to American Telecom, and was the ideal candidate to lead this effort as our new Director of Subscriber Services. Her initial focus is maximizing our external call center resources and optimizing training programs to improve our service partners' sales and customer service. We are confident that Janice's broad experience will assist us in generating sustainable services revenues. "Initially we focused on building our Pay N' Talk line of traditional phones bundled with prepaid long distance service," added Mr. Hahn. "In December, the sell though success of our patent-pending Internet Phones, through one of the nation's largest office superstores, has created the foundation for an increased focus on acquiring and retaining profitable additional SunRocket and Lingo VoIP customers." Ms. Walker concluded, "American Telecom Services' innovation in telecom with new DECT technology (the global standard of excellence) brings state-of- the-art communications services to mainstream Americans through major retailers. The Company has distributed millions of dollars of several phone models into the market in a very short time, which has created tremendous call center volume thereby creating sales and activation opportunities for recurring revenue. I look forward to leading the team and continuing to expand the Company's customer base and services."
