allow us to combine Hi-Tech with Hi Touch in our presentation and
training as well as provide cost savings over traditional phone
service," said Steven Yager, ISC's Senior Vice President of Global
Operations.

The Packet8 VoIP solution allows Internet users to enhance the
functionality of their high speed connection with a telephone service
that is affordable, as easy to use as a regular telephone, and bundled

environment for educating consumers about the features and benefits of
Packet8 Internet phone services," said Huw Rees, 8×8 Vice President
