("LDTS"), a telecommunications carrier licensed to provide services in Turkey. This acquisition will close upon receipt of approval from the Turkish Telecom Authority, at which point the company will operate in Turkey under the name Fusion LDTS. The Company is building its network out in twelve cities, and plans to offer VoIP services under the Efonica brand name, including nationwide long-distance and other IP communications services to business and residential customers in the Turkish market. Among the shareholders of LDTS, is Bayram Ali Bayramoglu who will join the board of Fusion LDTS. He served as the President of MUSIAD, an Independent Industrialists and Businessmen's Association with over 26 branches and 2000 members in Turkey, and is chairman of the BAB Group, a conglomerate engaged in construction, mining, telecommunications, food and consultancy. Mr Bayramoglu said "I am excited to be working with Fusion to take advantage of the opportunity to introduce leading communications services into Turkey." Commenting on the acquisition, Matthew Rosen, President and COO of Fusion said, "We believe that the Turkish market, with a population of over 73 million, represents a tremendous opportunity for Fusion. Internet usage in Turkey has nearly tripled since 2000, but overall penetration remains extremely low, with only 7.5% of Turkish citizens currently online. With deregulation having recently occurred, we believe that the growth potential is significant, as the strong value proposition of IP-based communication is expected to drive the continued expansion of the market. Consistent with our overall strategy, Fusion is among the first VoIP providers to enter the Turkish market, and we are confident in our ability to establish a strong presence in this region." ABOUT FUSION: Fusion Telecommunications is a provider of VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) and other Internet services to, from, in and between emerging markets in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America.
