Internet Gold Announces That it is Ahead of its Original Plans for its New 015
International Telephony Services
Tuesday December 21, 9:15 am ET
PETACH TIKVA, Israel, December 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Internet Gold
(NASDAQ: IGLD - News) today announced that it is ahead of its original plans for
its new 015 international telephony services. Launched in the third quarter of
2004, this new activity was originally budgeted to begin yielding operational
profits after two full quarters of operations in the first quarter of 2005.
Internet Gold estimates that the 015 activity reached operational profitability
in the fourth quarter of 2004.
The company has recently commenced offering prepaid and post-paid telephony
services that are expected to contribute to its market share of international
telephony services.
Eli Holtzman, Internet Gold CEO added: "I am very pleased and proud of my team
that was successful in leading this important new addition to our other growth
drivers to positive EBIT in less than five months of operations. We succeeded in
our main goal by being the first new competitor to join the international
telephony market. As I earlier emphasized, we have leveraged our synergistic
resources to launch this new activity in a very cost effective manner. The
earlier than expected positive results is just another proof of the soundness of
our strategy. I trust that our group will return to its traditional positive
profitability levels already in this last quarter of 2004".
