"Our agreement with Arbinet underscores our commitment to deliver the most competitive and flexible virtual services platform in the industry for companies interested in exploring a service bureau solution," said NetworkIP President Pete Pattullo.

NetworkIP customers can now receive these Arbinet Enabled benefits:

Select Sellers Based on Price and Quality: Participating customers are given direct control over the quality and rates they need for their products. The hard card customer can prioritize lowest possible price. Web marketers can prioritize high quality, with rates as a secondary priority.

The company's usage-based model enables prepaid service providers to focus on the management and control of their own products without incurring the cost and distraction of managing their own switch, software and carriers. NetworkIP's Integrated Connections Solution (ICS) technology - a flexible, virtual services network featuring real-time, Web-based tools - enables billions of customer connections each year. NetworkIP's category-leading prepaid products offer companies new ways to connect with their customers and drive revenue.
