FatPort launches mobitus: Voice over Internet service

Vancouver, BC - Dec 15, 2003 - Harnessing the power of the Internet, mobitus, a newly-formed division of FatPort, is marrying a universal need to a new medium. Voice over IP (VoIP), or the use of the Internet to carry telephone calls has never before existed with such reliability, clarity, and flexibility.

mobitus exists to make VoIP approachable. Customers download the mobitus software, and within 5 minutes have a telephone number and can start calling from their computers to other mobitus subscribers, or any regular telephone system in the world. mobitus works over most Internet connections, including the wireless Internet access points in public locations like coffee shops, hotels and airports.

Calls made between mobitus customers will be free, making the mobitus system ideal for companies with a travelling workforce or families wanting to keep in touch at low cost. Long-distance calls made outside the mobitus network will be charged competitively to the rest of the market - often besting the rates available from the telephone companies by a significant margin.

"mobitus is the next natural extension of FatPort's drive to give our customers the flexibility and freedom to communicate wherever," states VP of Business Development, Michael Kuhlmann. "mobitus is perfectly placed to access a growing consumer base that is dissatisfied with the poor service, high cost, and confusing strictures of traditional phone offerings. We welcome customers from all over the world to use our solution, no matter whether they are a wireless hotspot or a dial-up user. Our intent is to provide competitively priced offerings that are continually enhanced with added features, taking voice communications to the next level."
