Abstract

To use the Yak service, customers can receive a digital voice converter (DVC) which plugs into their high-speed network, allowing them to then plug any standard telephone into their DVC device. Alternatively, the customer can download onto their personal computer the Yak-X10 configured "softphone" software, enabling them to use a headset or handset configured for either a USB or soundcard port. If the customer selects the Yak-X10 configured eyeBeam software, they will be able to use the video calling features with the use of a PC camera.

"We are extremely excited to commence our marketing efforts for this next generation VoIP product," said Charles Zwebner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Yak Communications. "We believe that the WorldCity VoIP service has pricing and feature advantages that will attract a broad base of customers, encompassing early adopters as well as mainstream consumers, both in North America and worldwide. Consumer acceptance of internet-based phone service is growing rapidly, and we believe that we have positioned ourselves to capture significant business with competitive pricing at precisely the point when a critical mass of new customers will be coming on board," added Zwebner.
