quality and very inexpensive North American dial-tone, enabling
subscribers to benefit from our extensive features and
functionality, and ultra competitive international rates with more
than 40 countries priced at $.03 or less. This product is truly
revolutionary for many parts of the world and we believe it sets a
new value proposition for our customers. Yak is also developing the
capability of creating a web-enabled plug-in for its PC softphone
that will be able to reside within its partners' websites, allowing
partner members to seamlessly chat and voice and videocall as part
of their partner experience. "Allowing web administrators to easily
integrate Yak's PC softphone into their websites enabling all site
visitors to IM, talk and video talk freely over the internet, will
better position Yak to tap into existing social networks," stated
David Hurwitz, President of Yak's WorldCity VoIP business unit. We
are also developing a new and more flexible softphone skin and
interface to facilitate private branding of our software client so
it can more easily take on the look and feel of our partners brand.

enabling Yak the opportunity to accelerate and scale up customers
to Yak's VoIP products and services". About Yak Communications: Yak
