Draper UT, January 20, 2011 - Telarus, Inc., premier telecom master agent and patent holder of real-time carrier quotes, today announced they have entered into an agreement to market and sell Time Warner Cable Business Class (TWCBC) services. The new partnership opens the way for Telarus' agents to broaden their business voice and data service offerings through one of the industry's largest cable operators, TWCBC, which becomes the first MSO to join the Telarus carrier portfolio.

"The cable operators are becoming huge players in the business voice and data world," commented Adam Edwards, President of Telarus. "We are very excited to bring in Time Warner Cable Business Class and the set of products, price points, and footprint that comes with it. To this point our agent partners have actively steered business away from cable offerings so as not to jeopardize the sale of more expensive traditional telecom products. That is about to change, in a major way."

In preparation for the new partnership, Telarus and TWCBC are working together to eventually make pricing and availability available to agents through GeoQuote, Telarus' patented real-time carrier quoting tool. Generating a TWCBC quote in this manner will take just seconds to run, removing human quoting bottlenecks and making it easier to sell TWCBC's services

"We are excited to have Telarus as the newest member of our award-winning channel program," stated Jim Delis, Vice President of National Sales of Time Warner Cable Business Class. "Telarus is a unique partner in that they understand both the business and technology, allowing them to hit the ground running with us through real-time quotes and unsurpassed agent support. We are confident that Telarus will reflect well on our brand and further strengthen our channel moving forward. This is going to be an exciting ride."

Telarus and Time Warner Cable Business Class have both been recognized throughout the industry for their outstanding performance. In 2008, 2009, and 2010 Telarus won the Telecom Association Member's Choice Award for Top Master Agent. Time Warner Cable Business Class was recognized as the Metro Ethernet Forum's Ethernet Service Provider of the year in 2008.

"From small businesses to enterprise, Time Warner Cable can handle it all" added Lance Akins, VP of Sales for Telarus. "Time Warner Cable not only has a wide reach in the telecom market, but their product spectrum is vast as well. By combining Cable TV, Ethernet, Phone, and Internet service all under the same roof, Time Warner Cable has empowered agents with a product suite that is hard to compete with. We expect to see great things from this partnership."
