TeleContinuity receives Japanese Telecoms Carrier License

Tokyo (ANTARA News/PRNewswire-AsiaNet) - TeleContinuity, Inc. announced today that it has been granted a Type II Carrier License from the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. Effective as of February 28, 2008, the license will enable TeleContinuity to provide carrier services to the Japanese marketplace including VoIP, voice and data access as well as its flagship survivable telecommunications network to commercial, residential and government organizations throughout Japan.

"The licensing of TeleContinuity's backup telecom system by the Ministry shows that telecommunications continuity is of critical importance for the nation of Japan," said Taka Ito, Managing Director of TeleContinuity's Asia Pacific and Middle East Operations. "With the launch in Q1, 2008 of TeleContinuity's Japanese Service, we are seeing unprecedented demand for survivable backup telecommunication services throughout Japan and the Pacific Rim. Recent disasters have focused corporations on the necessity of business continuity planning and disaster recovery -- especially the critical role of maintaining telecom-continuity."

TeleContinuity local presence in Japan is enhanced through its distribution partnership with ECOSS Japan. "Since our sales and marketing campaign launched at the end of January 2008 we have seen an overwhelming response from the commercial and government marketplace," said Chihiro Tsuyuki, Chief Executive Officer of ECOSS, Inc. "TeleContinuity offers our customers and the Japanese marketplace a wide range of critical specialized telecommunications services that are utilized for telework, voice recovery and general business operations. Because of the critical need for survivable and disaster-proof telecom backup, there has been widespread excitement in the Japanese marketplace with many positive articles published in our nation's most important business magazines and newspapers. Many companies are inquiring about distribution and implementation agreements. ECOSS is looking forward to a strong year in 2008 as we deliver the TeleContinuity service in support of Japanese business and government agencies."

TeleContinuity recently participated at the ITPRO Expo 2008 at Tokyo BigSight in conjunction with its in-country strategic partner ECOSS. Additionally, Michael Rosenberg, Executive Vice President of TeleContinuity, was invited to speak on the subject of "maintaining telecommunications continuity during emergencies and disasters," at the 12th Annual Earthquake Technology Exhibition in Yokohama, Japan.
