i2Telecom International Awarded "Best of Show" at INTERNET TELEPHONY(R) Conference & EXPO East 2008
Market Wire, February, 2008
i2Telecom International, Inc. (OTCBB: ITUI), a developer of proprietary high-quality Voice-over-Internet Protocol ("VoIP") products and services, today announced that its MyGlobalTalk(TM) has been named winner of a "Best of Show" Award at Technology Marketing Corporation's (TMC®) INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference and EXPO East 2008. TMC reports that the conference, which was held at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami, Florida, was attended by over 7,100 people January 23-25, 2008.
MyGlobalTalk(TM), i2Telecom's internally developed proprietary technology, is a new and advanced mobile VoIP ("Mobile VoIP") application targeting the mobile handset market. Leveraging i2Telecom's patent-pending VoIP Service Access Module (VSAM) or VoiceStick® technology, MyGlobalTalk(TM) places Internet telephony in the hands of every cellular phone user at the service edge, independent of wireless carrier technology, handset manufacturer, or the type of wireless carrier voice/data plan involved. The objective is to enable mobile users to access low-cost Internet telephony communications in a completely "untethered" manner via their MyGlobalTalk(TM) enabled cellular phones. Once MyGlobalTalk(TM) is installed on cellular handsets, users are enabled to call any telephone in the world directly from their cellular phones, using Mobile VoIP technology, at a fraction of normal long-distance rates. In addition, MyGlobalTalk(TM) is fully functional without local access to the Internet or proximity to an Internet "hotspot." Users also need not wait for the availability of dual-mode WiFi phones, because MyGlobalTalk(TM) provides the benefits of a dual-mode phone at a fraction of the cost using the customer's existing mobile handset.
MyGlobalTalk(TM) is being released in phases, beginning in the first quarter of 2008 to customers in the United States and the United Kingdom with SmartPhone handsets that utilize the Windows Mobile® 5.0/6.0 operating system. Accompanying the release of the MyGlobalTalk(TM) Mobile VoIP application is a MyGlobalTalk(TM) branded web site. Subsequent releases extend the availability of MyGlobalTalk(TM) worldwide and will include support for Symbian, Blackberry and Java-enabled handsets, while adding new features specifically designed for mobile handset users.

"We are very pleased to receive this recognition for MyGlobalTalk(TM) at the INTERNET TELEPHONY® Conference," commented Paul Arena, chairman and chief executive officer of i2Telecom International, Inc. "Early interest in MyGlobalTalk(TM) has exceeded our expectations, and we look forward to announcing a number of new distribution and strategic relationships that will generate revenues to the Company in the near future. MyGlobalTalk(TM) users now have the ability to make calls anywhere in the world over the i2Telecom network using their cellular phones."
Mr. Arena continued, "In 2008, we look forward to taking advantage of MyGlobalTalk(TM)'s Mobile VoIP portable technology, which is rapidly gaining traction, by leveraging the growth of our customer base. Furthermore, we intend to maximize the value of our VSAM or VoiceStick® patent, upon approval, and aggressively pursue additional intellectual property value propositions through technologies such as MyGlobalTalk(TM)."
"i2Telecom and its innovative product, MyGlobalTalk(TM), are a standout indication of why so many enterprise buyers, developers, resellers and service providers attend the INTERNET TELEPHONY® Conference & EXPO," said TMC President and Conference Chairman, Rich Tehrani. "i2Telecom's innovation and commitment to quality attracted many serious prospects to its presentations, as attendees knew they would find solutions with i2Telecom that empower their businesses with innovative technology solutions."
The Best of Show awards are presented to companies unveiling the most impressive new products or releases at the show. Each winner displayed and demonstrated its product on the INTERNET TELEPHONY Expo show floor.
A full list of the winners appears on the TMC Web site, www.tmcnet.com , and will be published in the March 2008 issue of INTERNET TELEPHONY® magazine.
