NetworkIP, an industry leading e.Application and Access Exchange provider of voice and data services, will showcase its e.Conferencing solution as well as the company’s wide variety of converged communications solutions during the annual Collaborate East Conference & Expo, June 25-27 in Boston.
“I am very pleased to add e.Conferencing to our rapidly growing suite of products,” said Pete Pattullo, President and CEO of NetworkIP. “NetworkIP has created the world’s first prepaid, dynamic, on-demand small business and residential solution. There are over 50 million people in the U.S. workforce who are employed by small businesses with 100 employees or less. Until now, the larger conferencing providers have not tapped into this section of the market. e.Conferencing allows the distributor to offer an audio conferencing solution at a substantial cost savings. There is absolutely no back office or infrastructure investment required.”
“Now anyone can have his or her own conferencing account.” continues Pattullo. “e.Conferencing allows consumers access to a commitment-free, cost effective method of audio conferencing for 3 to 28 people, and also allows the customer to manage their call on every level via the Web.”
NetworkIP brings innovative features, robust capacity, and market leadership to the conferencing market. With e.Conferencing, distributors & consumers pay only for what they use and the solution offers competitive price and performance advantages:
- Ease of use (simple control from a touch-tone phone or computer)
- Convenience (no reservation or appointment necessary for setup/immediate availability)
- Lower costs (only pay for minutes used)
- No cost of implementation or maintenance
- No equipment costs
- Scalable & Flexible
- Simple customer-managed services
e.Conferencing is fully integrated with the same Web-based service interfaces as NetworkIP’s other superior stored value services. e.Conferencing is the only service of its kind that enables the distributor to control every aspect of their conferencing operation: provisioning, back office billing, rate management, per leg / set-up charges, product expirations, product demonstration, PIN activation and customer service functions in real-time via the Internet.
NetworkIP distributors, carriers and resellers benefit from low costs. The distributor is charged only for incoming and outgoing minutes used. In addition, distributors are not required to make any back office investment and the prepaid environment virtually eliminates bad debt. The e.Conferencing product also can be bundled with multiple applications from NetworkIP, including e.Prepaid Long Distance, e.Prepaid Internet and more – using one PIN for multiple revenue streams on the same product.
When the consumer purchases an e.Conferencing-based product, they receive a toll-free access number, a 7-digit PIN and a 3-digit security code to be used at a designated website to view the Web interface. e.Conferencing’s real-time Web interface allows the call “Moderator” to sanction and participate in their own conference calls without an operator or reservations agent. Account activity can be monitored, and time can be added to the account without disconnecting the call or speaking with a service representative. The service can also be used as a “Meet Me” format using the toll-free access number and PIN. e.Conferencing is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no restrictions.
Currently, NetworkIP supports more than 300 million end user accounts, generating more than 2 million minutes per day. The NetworkIP platform has a total capacity of 1 billion minutes of usage per month.

NetworkIP, an industry leading e.Application and Access Exchange provider of converged voice and data services today announced an increased emphasis on marketing of its e.Cable solution – because it provides a “lifeline” for cable operators that have been or may be abandoned by their Internet service providers (ISPs).
“Our e.Cable product continues to be a viable and economical option for cable operators to keep their ISP offerings afloat as many Internet providers go under,” said Pete Pattullo, president and CEO of NetworkIP. “Cable providers can continue to offer a value-added service to their subscribers today while minimizing the risk and capital investment required. And, e.Cable allows the cable operator to private-brand their own service. It’s a win-win situation for all.”
NetworkIP’s real-time Web-based e.Services Network (e.SN) provides the cable operator with a paperless, prepaid environment including complete back office functions such as provisioning, billing, technical support, reporting and service control. Cable providers can offer email accounts, Web hosting accounts and varying service levels for Internet access.
NetworkIP’s broadband offering is built on the Simplified OpenCableT solution, which allows the cable operator to deliver self-provisioning to subscribers without separate software installation. The solution reduces costs for the cable provider by virtually eliminating truck rolls and drastically reducing the man-hours required for customer service.
Other key advantages to the cable provider include 100% guaranteed billing revenue on every customer, proven self installation and self provisioning, private branding, zero ($0) OSS or capital investment required, and simple & quick customer conversion. The cable operator controls all aspects of their own service offering.
NetworkIP maintains the network infrastructure and customer data, while the cable company provides ISP services and cable access. The underlying platform will manage and clear every transaction administered by each company involved. One advantage to this business model is that cable providers have real-time access to customer service data, which allows them to maintain the customer relationship.
In addition to e.Cable, NetworkIP offers a variety of voice and data services that can enable cable providers to generate new revenue sources and provide a bundled broadband offering of enhanced, value-added communications services to subscribers. Current services include e.Prepaid Calling Cards, e.Prepaid Long Distance, e.Prepaid Internet (dial-up Internet service), e.Conferencing and DuoCash Stored Value Transactions.

NetworkIP, an industry leading e.Application and Access Exchange provider of converged voice and data services today will introduce its new e.Local Dial Access product at the Intele-Card Expo 2001 in Las Vegas, Nev.
The e.Local Dial Access allows distributors to offer to end-users a local access calling card that eliminates the need to dial 1-800 numbers for access and avoids incurring the associated surcharges at payphones. (Surcharges for prepaid long distance calls at payphones typically cost as much as one dollar per call.) The offering saves money for the end-user and creates a loyal customer base for the distributor.
“Distributors can create hometown brands, which build customer loyalty and repeat business,” said Pete Pattullo, president and CEO of NetworkIP. “For the end-users who make lots of calls, avoiding those recurring surcharges will be a significant savings each month.”
Because the access numbers for the cards are local, end-users can use a long distance calling card by dialing specific local numbers for each designated city. In addition, the end-user can also use a 1-800 access number if out of the local access area. For a distributor or retailer, this will create separate revenue opportunities for every city in which it has a presence.
For the end-user, the e.Local Dial Access service will include all of the advantages common to other NetworkIP offerings, including cost containment and accessibility. The product feature can also be “bundled” on a single PIN with all of NetworkIP’s services.
In addition to e.Local Dial Access, NetworkIP offers a variety of voice and data services that can enable distributors to generate new revenue. Current services include e.Prepaid Calling Cards, e.Prepaid Long Distance, e.Prepaid Internet (dial-up Internet service), e.Conferencing and DuoCash Stored Value Transactions.

Posted on 09. Oct, 2001 by NetworkIP in Press Release
NetworkIP, an industry-leading e.Application and Access Exchange provider of voice and data services, will showcase the company’s wide variety of converged communications solutions during ISPCON, October 9-11 at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
A key feature in all of NetworkIP’s products is that the distributor can incorporate any combination of NetworkIP services on the same card, allowing the end-user to operate with only one PIN.
“NetworkIP is the first service provider to offer this unique prepaid solution,” said Pete Pattullo, president and CEO of NetworkIP. “Multiple products on the same PIN mean greater profit per user for our customers.”
Among the services NetworkIP plans to highlight during ISPCON are e.Prepaid Internet, Duo-Cash enabled cards, e.Cable and e.Conferencing.
NetworkIP Prepaid Internet Access Solution
e.Prepaid Internet is an e-mail capable, dial-up Internet service sold by distributors through retail supply channels, similar to a prepaid phone card. The product allows the distributor to add a prepaid Internet product, critical to their portfolio, with no additional back office or capital investment.
This product allows users to pay as they use the service as opposed to traditional Internet services, which charge monthly fees even if the subscriber does not use the service.
NetworkIP has partnered with a tier-one carrier to provide a nationwide infrastructure for prepaid dial-up Internet access using the fastest, most robust backbone in the industry. Local-dialed e.Prepaid Internet access covers 90 percent of the U.S. population. Toll-free access is also available to ensure the remaining 10 percent of users have access to a clean, fast connection. The product is sold as a re-usable mini CD-ROM to allow ultra-fast, easy loading of the product and key programs.
DuoCash-Enabled Cards Allow Access to the Digital Content Marketplace
NetworkIP is a strategic partner with DuoCash, the world’s first payment processing and clearing network to enable Internet purchases using calling cards.
This partnership enables NetworkIP customers to issue multi-use stored value calling cards which can be used for Internet purchases, as well as to make phone calls.
NetworkIP’s customers benefit by increasing sales and access to new markets. DuoCash increases use on the cards and allows the distributor to sell more and higher-value cards. In addition, since multi-use cards appeal to users outside of the existing prepaid calling card markets, DuoCash also extends the market for calling cards to those who might not otherwise have purchased a prepaid calling card.
e.Cable Offers High-Speed Broadband Solution for Cable Operators
e.Cable is a broadband cable modem solution that allows cable operators to provide privately branded, self-provisioned, high-speed Internet and data services to their subscribers via a DOCSIS-compliant infrastructure, with absolutely no back office investment.
e.Cable provides the subscriber quick and easy self-installation of high-speed Internet service and the ability to manage their own service accounts online. NetworkIP’s real-time, Web-based e.Services Network (e.SN) control system provides to the cable operator a paperless, prepaid environment including back office requirements such as provisioning, billing, technical support, reporting and service control. e.Cable will also allow cable providers to offer email accounts, Web Hosting accounts and varying service levels for Internet access.
NetworkIP’s broadband offering allows the cable operator to deliver self-provisioning to subscribers without separate software installation. The solution reduces costs for the cable provider by virtually eliminating truck rolls and drastically reducing the man-hours required for customer service.
NetworkIP Dynamic Stored Value Audio Conferencing Product
NetworkIP introduces the latest addition to the company’s rapidly expanding portfolio: e.Conferencing. The e.Conferencing product is a fully automated, customer managed, PSTN based, audio conferencing service, via a Web-based interface. A real-time Web interface allows the “Moderator” to sanction and participate in their own conference calls without ever having to speak with a coordinator or reservations agent. The user can monitor account activity and add time to the account without having to hang-up or speak to a service representative. The e.Conferencing service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with no restrictions.
NetworkIP brings innovative new features, robust capacity and market leadership to the conferencing market. Consumer demand for the e.Conferencing solution has been brisk, given its exceptional price and performance advantages.
With e.Conferencing, NetworkIP has created a dynamic on-demand business solution that allows consumers to access a commitment-free, cost-effective method of audio conferencing.

e.Prepaid Internet is fully integrated with the same Web-based service interfaces as NetworkIP’s other superior prepaid services. The distributor controls all service charges, round-ups, and card expiration. Another key feature of this product is that the distributor can also combine e.Prepaid Internet with any combination of NetworkIP prepaid calling cards, long distance, and audio conferencing on the same card, using the same PIN. Multiple products on the same PIN mean greater profit per user, improved retention and larger potential revenue per card.
“With our new e.Prepaid Internet product, NetworkIP has delivered a superior Internet solution for computer users including those who are credit-challenged, business travelers, are reluctant to sign up for traditional monthly Internet access or current Internet users who have found they do not use the Internet enough to justify monthly fees,” said Pete Pattullo, President and CEO of NetworkIP. “We are the first service provider to offer this unique prepaid solution that allows our customer to combine multiple voice and data services all in one product, using the same PIN!”

NetworkIP (www.networkip.net), an industry leading e.Application and Access Exchange of converged voice and Internet services and BillMatrix Corporation (BillMatrix), a leading provider of comprehensive electronic payment solutions and services over the telephone and Internet, announced today their joint participation in a program providing an automated telephone recharge solution for prepaid phone card customers. This solution, now in pilot production, will allow distributors that utilize NetworkIP’s advanced network services to offer their customers a more efficient, cost effective, and intuitive approach to replenishing their existing phone card.
Using the patented BillMatrix System, a phone card customer will be able to recharge their card, on a real-time basis, utilizing a credit card or electronic check. The system can be accessed from any location using a touchtone phone. This “on-demand” program will not require a customer to pre-register in order to benefit from this convenience.
“The prepaid phone card industry has always needed a simple and seamless recharge option, where the customer can pick up the phone and in a minute be talking again with their existing PIN”, said Pete Pattullo, President and CEO of Network IP. “Upon completion of the pilot, this product will be available to all of our prepaid services customers including cable and Internet.”
Historically, significant fraud rates and limited payment options have been roadblocks to the success of on-demand telephone based recharge programs. As a result, customers have often been required to talk to a live customer service representative where costs are high and hold times are significant. BillMatrix will draw on many years of experience processing on-demand telephone based payments for the prepaid telecommunications industry to address the fraud issue.
“We are excited about the opportunity this pilot program presents for BillMatrix and NetworkIP to create a new convenient and reliable method of recharging phone cards,” said BillMatrix President and CEO, Scott Walker. “During the pilot period, we will closely monitor attempted fraud and make adjustments to our fraud detection systems, paving the way for a full rollout of the recharge program.”
Daily recharge reporting to the phone card distributor of minutes purchased as well as daily deposits into the distributor’s bank account gives the distributor greater money management flexibility. Participating distributors will also benefit by increasing cash flows from their existing cards in circulation since customers will be more willing to recharge their existing card rather than making a point of sale purchase at a retail location.
