Nuvio Launches VoIP Partner Initiatives for Utah Broadband Providers

KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 18, 2004--

Company Signs Four New Utah-Based Partners to Bring Bundled Services to Residential and Business Customers

“Nuvio was the perfect VoIP service provider to allow rapid entry into the business IP Centrex market”

Nuvio Corporation, a leading provider of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), today announced a major push into the Utah market through four new partnerships with locally based broadband and wireless providers. The partner companies -- Curean Communications, Readytek Broadband, Trilobyte and Catapulsion Broadband -- have joined the Powered by Nuvio partner program selecting the company's Total Package offering for both NuvioVoice and NuvioCentrex products.

Nuvio's Total Package includes designing a branded Web site, private-label billing, referrals coordination and technology support. This competitive partner program allows for ISPs to profit from a new stream of business, without having to incur the cost and delay of building and maintaining their own VoIP network.

Jess Clifford, president of Trilobyte said: "We realized the potential that a bundled offering could bring, but our customer response has surpassed our expectations. Demand has been so overwhelming, since we added Nuvio's VoIP offering to our services, that we have had to add more staff to keep up with orders."

"Nuvio was the perfect VoIP service provider to allow rapid entry into the business IP Centrex market," said Ronn Hartman, CEO of Readytek Broadband. "Additionally we are now able to team-up with Trilobyte for a VoIP offering to business and residential customers in Utah. This would not be possible without Nuvio's superior offering to both markets."

"Our expansion into Utah is a perfect example of how VoIP services can bring expanded communications applications to rural markets," stated Jason Talley, president and CEO of Nuvio Corporation. "The FCC has made it clear that rural deployment of broadband services is a priority. Nuvio and its partners are already answering that call and benefiting from rapid service deployment."
