"The beauty of PowerConference is simplicity," said Larry Moses, Executive Vice President of Sales. "We establish a customer's account over the phone, there are no set-up fees or monthly commitments, and the rates are very competitive. Each customer then has 24-hour access to conference calling whether they have a scheduled meeting or need to conference on a moment's notice."

PowerNet Global will drive sales of the new service through its national agent channel, giving agents the flexibility of a wide range of per-minute rates and generous commissions.

The company also announced that it has selected JetStream Broadband, Inc. to deliver dedicated Internet services to small and medium-size enterprises in tier 2 and 3 markets. The product offers 384 Kbps to 1.5 Mbps service to over 350 tier 2 and tier 3 U.S. cities nationwide.

"JetStream gives us presence in markets where we could not compete in the past," said Larry Moses, Executive Vice President of Sales. "With this new initiative, our agents can compete confidently in smaller, underserved markets, offering business customers a complete Internet package that delivers increased service and efficiency at competitive costs."

PowerNet Global bundles the loop and router equipment as a package along with email and IP addresses, while still maintaining price points below many providers offering only connectivity.
