Pervasip's Chief Information Officer, Mark Richards, noted, "We have been working on perfecting this technology for over 12 months and our VoIP is now an integrated component of the operating system of the HTC Touch Pro 2 mobile phone. We are not merely an application running on the top of the phone, like some other VoIP providers. We are native to the phone so that the user cannot tell he is making a VoIP call. This advanced technology that utilizes low cost packet-switching over GSM cell phone towers nationwide, allows us to offer unlimited data and voice service on the Touch Pro 2 for only $69.95 a month. We believe the Touch Pro 2 is a brilliant device and that our service offering is the best one available. We are selling the service, prepaid on a credit card, on a month-to-month basis. We do not believe we need to lock up consumers in one or two year contracts, because they will realize that we have the best cost-to-value service available. We expect to launch other mobile products within 60 days. We are very pleased that VoX has finally transitioned from a wholesale landline VoIP provider into 'The Voice of Mobile Broadband.' We already have substantial demand for this product."
