Internet Protocol Services-VOIP .
Yak Communications Inc., a provider of
telecommunication services to residential and business

engineering testing of its VOIP services and has started a
market test.
Charles Zwebner, Yak President and Chief
Executive Officer said "The Company continues to execute on its
planned rollout of VOIP services to the residential and small
business markets and expects to be in market testing to
approximately 1,000 users until full commercial deployment, to
consumers anywhere in the world, anticipated by September 8,
2004."
The product is expected to be commercially
released with full features including such options as: Caller
ID, Call Blocking, Call Return, Call Forwarding, Three Way
Calling, Voicemail, Free On Net Calls, local and international
DID's (direct inward dialing numbers), and 911 operator
services.
Pricing for the bundled services including local,

"We have tested our products on high speed DSL
networks and currently have consumers making inbound and
outbound calls using both IP phones and regular telephones, with
operational connectivity between the two on both the IP and PSTN
networks (public switched telephone), and it works well. Final
testing for cable subscribers on high-speed cable networks is
anticipated by May 15, 2004. We are extremely pleased with our
engineering results and the call quality, and look forward to
our anticipated full commercial rollout on September 8, 2004. We
believe the market opportunities for our products are extremely
large both in Canada and USA, as well as internationally," added
Zwebner.
