Canisp PLC 05 March 2004 Canisp plc Press announcement 5 March 2004 Recent developments at The Airtime Group Limited ('TAG') The Board of Canisp plc wishes to announce recent developments at its subsidiary, TAG. Canisp acquired TAG, which trades as World Telecom, on 18 December 2003 as the first acquisition in its strategy of building a group specialising in telecommunication services. TAG has successfully completed the establishment of Service Provider status with BT Wholesale. This enables TAG to offer savings to customers on both line rental and call charges and severs the link between the customer and BT. TAG thereby becomes a one-stop-shop for all the customer's fixed line telephony. In conjunction with its existing family of calling card products, Wholesale Access allows TAG to offer imaginative solutions and develop long term relationships with its customer base. TAG is already in discussions with a number of new Wholesale Access customers including a primary care trust, and has started the process of offering Wholesale Access products to its existing blue chip Global Calling Card ('GCC') customer base including a mailing campaign to over 44,000 Diners Club cardholders through its existing affinity partnership. Since acquisition, TAG has also expanded its GCC customer base through the issue of over 5,500 cards to existing and new customers, the latter including Kodak and Citigroup. ends This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange
