TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 29, 2003

The January 24, 2003 issue of The Prepaid Press, the prepaid communication industry's newest publication, includes an exclusive interview with Tom Evslin, chairman and CEO of ITXC. In this interview, Evslin reveals that ITXC will put renewed emphasis on providing premium programs for prepaid platform providers.

ITXC is unique because it is one of the very few telecom startups that have survived during the last few turbulent years. In this exclusive interview with The Prepaid Press, Evslin explained why ITXC has targeted prepaid markets. "It is not just that we see growth opportunities in the prepaid industry," said Evslin. "This industry is in a unique position to leverage the strengths that ITXC provides. Because we use the Internet and VoIP, we are able to create alliances and begin providing services very rapidly. The dynamic nature of the prepaid industry, and its history of seizing on new opportunity, gives the prepaid industry an opportunity to benefit from the strengths of ITXC."

ITXC recently became the first major international carrier to begin offering competitive services in India. "I think there are some very important lessons here," said editor-in-chief, Gene Retske, who conducted the Evslin interview for The Prepaid Press. "ITXC not only survived the downturn in the telecommunications industry, a minor miracle in itself these days, but has actually thrived. Any telecommunications company would be well advised to learn how they were able to pull this off, against all odds, by bucking the trend."
