Commission River Adds New ISP and Dedicated Services

September 18, 2003 SEATTLE, WA - Commission River, the Seattle based Internet-enabled marketer of communications services, reseller and facilities based carrier, announced the introduction of three new services. ShopforT1 for business customers and organizations requiring T1 voice and data services; CogniFast, a discount -- priced dial-up Internet access service, and TollFreeISP(TM), for prepaid global Internet access.

In bringing ShopforT1 to market, Commission River has collaborated with Telarus, Inc. of Fountain Valley, California, developer of Telarus, a service powered by GeoQuote(TM). This service is an Internet portal offering real-time delivery of price and availability estimates to prospective T1 and DSL clients. "The real-time shopping model works very effectively while it significantly diversifies our position within the marketplace served by our agents," commented Tony Sgroi, president of Commission River Resale Division. "ShopforT1 is a very well conceived web interface that enables prospective business customers to simplify their experience in accessing and successfully using very complicated databases. We are pleased to provide this straightforward process for the price-conscious customer to facilitate their signing up for our telecom service through Telarus. Now Commission River agents will be able to earn commissions on both the referral and sale of high-end DS1, DS3, VPN, and other large-ticket business products."

"Obtaining reliable pricing has been a significant barrier for customers seeking T1 digital transmission links from their network to a remote destination. Accurate cost determination is very sensitive to the geographic location of each customer with relation to the carriers' physical equipment. Our software is able to calculate the distance from any location in the continental United States to any of our providers' Points of Presence (POPs). From there, we use proprietary and patented pricing algorithms to convert the distance into a price," explained Adam Edwards, CEO of ShopforT1.
