Alltel Wireless First U.S. Carrier to Launch XM Satellite Radio and Qwest Shows Customers Best-in-Class Disaster Recovery

Telecommunications industry news provided by Financial News USA (OTC: FNWU). Alltel Wireless (NYSE:AT), America's largest network, recently announced an agreement with XM Satellite Radio that will make Alltel customers the first in the U.S. to have access to a wide range of XM Satellite Radio programming via their wireless phones. Alltel Wireless customers can gain unlimited access to select XM radio channels from the XM Radio Mobile service for $7.99 per month. AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) is putting its official stamp on the West Bank and Gaza by changing its phone bills, a move driven more by economics than politics. Long-distance charges for dialing the Palestinian-run lands will carry their own designation rather than appearing as calls to Israel. The company also is raising the rates sharply for calling the West Bank and Gaza, citing the rising fees AT&T needs to pay other carriers in that region to connect calls.

Qwest Communications International Inc. (NYSE: Q) recently announced a series of seminars that offer business customers best-in-class disaster recovery and risk-management practices. The Risk Management and Disaster Recovery seminar will focus on information technology themes for 2006 related to data management techniques, risk assessment, recovery challenges and best practices and strategies for operational recovery. Sutida Suwunnavid Chairwoman of Buzz Technologies, Inc. (OTC: BZTG) recently announced SAP Vice President of Engineering and Principal Architect Mikey Butler will Join Buzz Technologies Inc. as Chief Technical Officer effective September 1, 2006, during an interview recently at The Bangkok ICT Expo. Mikey Butler will be heading up the team that will develop the Buzz Virtual PC and OS and all Buzz Applications including leading edge IPTV delivery for Buzz Technologies Inc. and its client Archer Media and Entertainment Corp and its China and Indian IPTV network operations.
