China Cable and Communication Intends to Provide VoIP Services in Additional Areas of China BEIJING, April 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- China Cable and Communication, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: CCCI) , a leading China-based cable TV company, today announced it intends to continue to expand its service offerings by providing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services in a number of areas of China. On March 9, China Cable announced that its 49%-owned Baoding Network had entered into a joint venture agreement with a major Chinese telecommunications company to provide VoIP services in Baoding City, with a marketing campaign to commence in June 2004 and commencement of service scheduled for August 2004. Subsequent to the original VoIP announcement, China Cable had preliminary discussions concerning the possibility of a joint venture with another major telecommunications company to provide VoIP services to a number of other areas of China. Although these discussions are preliminary and there is no assurance that a definitive arrangement will occur, China Cable's Board of Directors has determined, without any guarantee that China Cable will be able to do so, to undertake to provide VoIP to a number of areas of China through this or other strategic alliances. China Cable believes it will be able to do this on a joint venture basis with a major telecommunications company partner - -- although there is no assurance that this will occur. Gareth Tang, President of China Cable and Communication said, ` `We believe the most significant aspect in providing voice over IP will be in providing very affordable long distance telephone services for our customers. As our cable television offerings continue to expand, bringing the sights and sounds of the world into China, we believe now is the right time to provide our customers with another very useful communications tool. Not only will our customers be able to communicate more effectively in China, but also worldwide, if we are successful in providing them with VoIP. Of course, there is no guarantee we will be successful in providing VoIP.' ' Mr. Tang continued, ` `There were over 100 billion long distance minutes used in China last year, but a rather small percentage of those calls were made to numbers outside of China. If we are successful in providing voice over IP services, we will be able to expand our customers' international dialing capabilities by providing these services at very favorable rates.' ' VoIP has become the fastest growing service in China's entire telecom industry, with some analysts forecasting it will capture up to 30% of China's long-distance market this year. Voice over IP provides for the transport of telephone calls over the Internet, no matter whether traditional devices, multimedia PCs, or dedicated terminals take part in the calls. Mr. Tang concluded, ` `Again, the greatest factor in the growth of voice over IP services is the significant cost-savings in transporting phone calls over the Internet. We're very excited about our plans to be offering this new service in Boading City and then perhaps other areas of China.'
