The complete conversion and adjustment of all software systems tothe new VoIP technology will lengthen the edge enjoyed by the marketleader Median Telecom GmbH over the competition. The core element ofthe new VoIP call shop solution is iPBX, a software-based telephoneexchange system which uses the Median software "MedianCharge(R)" tosettle and charge all telephone calls made. The conversion to VoIPwill lead to a drastic reduction in feed costs and will lower chargesfor fixed network calls, for example within Europe, by as much as 60%! The main beneficiaries of this will naturally be the franchisees ofthe Median's "TELECAFE(R)" franchise system.

The conversion of the existing call shops is already well underway while it is also becoming considerably simpler to connect new and,in particular, international call shops. The Amitelo subsidiarySunline Communications SL in Malaga has just connected its firsttwelve proprietary call shops in Spain within the space of one weekwith the help of this solution. Sunline plans to connect more than 200further call shops to the Amitelo network on the basis of this system.One call shop generates between EUR 5,000 and EUR 15,000 sales permonth, depending on the location.

The VoIP call shop system currently forms the basis of intensivenegotiations with governments in Africa in order to carry out themodernization of the existing infrastructure in these countries basedon the Amitelo technology. For these countries, the integrated areasof e-learning (internet-based learning methods) and e-government(authorities and ministries represented in the internet) are ofparticular significance.
