Company’s novel “Value Added ISP Program” enables providers
to offer small business an out-of-the-box “big business
connectivity” solution, while facilitating DSL access upon
availability.

“BASCOM Global Internet Services, pioneering developers of thin
server productivity solutions for small business, today announces
its “Instant-On” technology, designed to give small business
secure, high-performance Internet access-immediately-whi le they
wait for their Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL) to be turned-on.
“Instant-On” is integrated into BASCOM’s flagship connectivity
solution, IQ2 NetConnect, which provides universal Internet access
(from dial-up to broadband), a pre-configured firewall and a Web
cache system for optimum performance. IQ2 NetConnect is remotely
administered and upgraded, making it a hassle-free “drop-in,
turn-on” solution ideal for small business. Now, through
“Instant-On,” IQ2 NetConnect offers both immediate productivity
benefits and an easy migration path to DSL.”

“To the extent that high-speed Internet access levels the
playing field for small and big business, DSL represents a real
opportunity to aggressive, dynamic companies looking for a
competitive advantage. As the DSL roll-out continues erratically,
our “Instant-On” technology gives small business bigger bang for
their existing bandwidth, while providing them with the
infrastructure to immediately leverage the benefits of DSL as soon
as it becomes available,” said BASCOM President Peter Cirasole.
“From an ISPs standpoint, the IQ2’s “Instant-On” feature delivers
value as soon as it’s plugged in. Our Value Added ISP program
enables ISPs to evolve their business models by broadening their
service offerings and customer base, while increasing the value of
their company.”
