Rolls Out E911 Emergency Services Program
VANCOUVER,
BC, Oct 10, 2005 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --
POPstar Communications Inc. (POPstar) (OTC: POPC) today announced
plans for the roll out of its E 911 Emergency Services program to
POPstar VoIP users.
Implementation
has been underway for the past 3 months whereby all new subscribers
have been given access to the service from the date of sign-up and
access for existing subscribers is being completed. The service
requires that the user name and address be registered with the data
center and that the user telephone number is associated with the
exchange in which the registered service address is located. Russ
McDermott, VP of Marketing for the company's People Line VoIP services,
said, "The 911 Service implementation is required by the regulatory
authorities and is a required component of the company's roll out
of its VoIP services to other cities."
VOIP
telephony services -- the future is now: While VoIP services have
long been touted as the replacement for traditional telecom, it
has only been recently that IP telephony has managed a breakthrough
move. Already responsible for a revolution in international communications,
VoIP is more cost-effective, manageable and technically superior
to traditional telecom and many analysts predict that VoIP will
carry more voice traffic than traditional telecom by 2008. Estimated
at a current size of over $24 Billion, the VoIP market has entered
a mature expansion phase and Frost and Sullivan estimates that revenues
will reach $171 Billion by 2007.
POPstar has been aggressively pursuing funding sources required
for expansion and marketing of its People Line Service and will
enter into the lucrative US VoIP expecting very conservative revenues
of $5.2 million for 2006, for 2007 growing to $14.3 million and
in 2007 profitability at $25 million, all very conservative depending
on the expansion acceptance, it is not a question of "if" but "when."
According to Edward Gallagher, CEO of POPstar, the upcoming IPO
of one of the major companies in the VoIP Industry confirms the
fact the new VoIP market has been recognized by the investment community
and many M&A transactions will validate this outlook.
The
current market penetration of 2.9% or 2.5 million subscribers (2005
figures) of the lucrative US Market is likely to increase to increase
rapidly in 2006. POPstar, with its proven and tested product taking
advanctage of its $10 Million dollar investment, is positioned to
become a leader in the industry. It is already working to establish
a major precense in Asia and will announce significant operations
in the next few weeks.
