Official Telarus Press Release

DRAPER, Utah - February 27, 2007 - XO today announced that it has awarded the 2006 X-Factor award to Telarus, Inc. The X-Factor award is presented annually to the master agent with the largest percentage growth over the previous year.

"We are very proud to receive the 2006 X-factor award" said Adam Edwards, president of Telarus. "Taking into consideration the fact that we won this award in spite of having entry level compensation, it's doubly impressive."

The X-Factor award was presented to Adam Edwards at the annual XO awards banquet hosted this year in Scottsdale, Arizona.

"XO has done an exceptional job in reinventing its agent program," commented Patrick Oborn, Technical Marketing Director of Telarus. "A few years ago we made suggestions to how XO could improve their processes, and they listened. Since then we've seen nothing but a consistent flow of data, integrated, a voice PRI orders headed in XO's direction."

XO is a national CLEC who specializes in cutting-edge services for small to medium sized businesses. XO's "Flex" product (a voice T1 which dynamically allocates unused channels to data traffic) remains especially attractive to many businesses across the country.

"As XO continues to address agent concerns, improve their compensation package, and add more XO products into GeoQuote, expect to see a steady increase in the quantity of orders or agents send to XO. Hopefully you will see Telarus on the awards podium next year at the XO Awards Banquet" commented Adam Edwards.
