Fusion Telecommunications International, Inc., a provider of advanced VoIP services, announced that Matthew Rosen, its chief executive officer, will participate in a panel discussion on telecommunications and technology at the 2nd Annual US/Latin American Conference at the United Nations in New York on April 20th.

Fusion focuses on providing Voice over Internet Protocol ("VoIP"), Internet access, and other Internet services to, from, in and between emerging global markets. Under its efonica brand name, the company currently provides services to customers in over 45 countries.



"The opportunities in Latin America and other emerging markets are very significant for our VoIP services," said Mr. Rosen. "The discussion is particularly timely, as we are on the cusp of launching our new suite of VoIP services in many of these markets. I am very honored to have been asked to speak at this conference since we know the challenges and rewards of the Latin America market first hand, and the impact that enhanced telecommunications and Internet services will have as the economies in the region continue to develop and expand," said Mr. Rosen.

Mr. Rosen brings to the conference his understanding of designing diverse business models that meet market needs and provide world-class service against the background of widely varying cultural, technological and economic circumstances. In particular, his company has harnessed the power and adaptability of the Internet to provide affordable high-quality telecommunications services to consumers and businesses around the globe. He will address the prospects he sees for VoIP services and the future of telecommunications as a change agent and economic engine in the region.

"When we enter a market, we seek to partner with local entities designed to meet both the needs and limitations of the communities in which we operate," said Mr. Rosen. "It is the insight we've gained from this activity that I hope to share with the attendees of the conference."

Arthur Navarro, conference chairman stated, "We are very pleased that Matthew Rosen can participate in this important event and share his insights on telecommunications and technology advancements. This event will bring together Latin American business, government and community leaders and an array of other distinguished and dedicated leaders. Our nonpartisan conference will include a diverse and select group of business leaders, noteworthy academicians, and key U.S. Hispanic NGO representatives to identify immediate and pragmatic solutions to some of Latin America's most pressing problems."
