Melbourne,
Australia, 18
June 2007: Freshtel
(ASX:FRE), and hardware partner Binatone have added Wal-Mart's UK
retail arm, ASDA to the growing list of UK retailers supplying the
Freshtel Internet Phone service.
ASDA, the second
largest retail chain in the UK and the largest overseas arm of US
retail giant Wal-Mart, began selling the Freshtel Internet Phone in
122 of its UK stores this month. The product is branded as Binatone
Internet Phone, powered by Freshtel.
Peter Warner,
Acting CEO of Freshtel said "Freshtel now has a presence across the
leading retail outlets in the UK, indicating the growing demand for
our product. We have a great launching pad to drive further
expansion in this market."
"This
arrangement opens doors for us to continue to work with the Wal-Mart
family in other markets, such as the US, Europe and Latin America
where VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) subscriber numbers continue
to grow rapidly."
Mr Dino Lalvani,
CEO of Binatone - Freshtel partner and one of the leading
telecommunications hardware providers in the UK - said "Binatone
has been working with ASDA for many years and its move into internet
phones signifies the growth the market is experiencing. VoIP is an
important component of Binatone's strategy in 2007 and with our
retail partners we are seeing rapid growth in this arena.
"Binatone
Internet Phone is now getting greater coverage throughout the UK, in
retail penetration and customer usage. Customers are beginning to
understand the benefits of internet telephony through the cost
savings that can be made, and the ease of use."
