NTOP Net2Phone (MM)

Net2Phone (NASDAQ: NTOP) and CMA Cablevision have partnered to provide free broadband telephony service to displaced families in Belle Chasse, Louisiana. Belle Chasse, in northern Plaquemines Parish, is approximately 12 miles southeast of New Orleans. Having sustained blows from both Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the residents of the Gulf coast and Plaquemines Parish have lost communications from the rest of the world due to the heavy damages sustained by the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). It is estimated that nearly 164,000 customers are still without service more than 30 days after Katrina hit. The Washington Post reported that early cost estimates to repair the damaged network exceeds $400 million with a time frame of more than four months. After post-hurricane cable plant inspections revealed an area of CMA's cable system was intact and operating, CMA representatives contacted Plaquemines Parish officials. Parish officials were informed that CMA and Net2Phone were able to install VoiceLine(SM) VoIP telephone lines in the Belle Chasse Community Center. Since installation on September 21, over 24,000 calls have been placed. Residents have been actively using the center to file claims and apply for assistance and most importantly - keeping in touch with loved ones. "Cable television has always been about the communities it serves," John Helmers, CMA General Manager said. "Being able to help contribute in a small way to people resuming their lives is helping all of us look toward the future and our continued recovery from this disaster." "The whole world has seen the devastation that Katrina has caused," said Liore Alroy, CEO of Net2Phone. "As individuals, we look for ways we can have an impact in helping the recovery. As a corporation, Net2Phone is grateful to have a partner and the resources that allowed us to contribute this valuable service."
