May 05, 2006 - As the needs of the US Hispanic market are very different then that of the general US population, major communications service providers realize that unlimited calling in the US alone is not a very compelling offering for this group. US Hispanics want local telephone numbers from their home country and unlimited calling plans to and from Latin America where they spend the majority of their telecom dollars. These plans when bundled with traditional US phone service whether VoIP, cellular, or land line provide for an extremely compelling product offering to US Hispanic clients. The problem has been to offer these services you must be a VoIP provider that is vertically integrated into Latin America, like DigiLinea, which requires a high level of expertise, licensing, and local operating experience which is extremely time consuming and expensive to achieve.
“All the leading service providers have a significant number of Hispanic clients to whom they wish to offer services that meet their specific needs and provide for a competitive differentiator, which lowers churn and provides greater revenue and profits per line. The DigiLinea VoIP Enabler Platform for the first time provides a true turnkey solution for service providers to provide these services and instantly generate more revenues and profits from their current US Hispanic client base with no capex”, said Gregory Keough CEO and Chairman of DigiLinea.
A clear advantage of the DigiLinea VoIP Enabler Platform is it can be used by both VoIP and PSTN or Cellular service providers in that through interconnecting with the DigiLinea VoIP Enabler Platform providers can offer unlimited inbound and outbound calling, and local telephone numbers from across Latin America all for a flat fee. The DigiLinea VoIP Enabler Platform for the first time allows service providers to access these services to create products that are relevant to their US Hispanic client base and as 44% of all outbound traffic from the US goes to Latin America the market opportunity is quite large.
“Outside of partnerships with other VoIP providers, we believe there are great opportunities in partnering with cellular and fixed line providers in that while not all US Hispanics have broadband 100% of the US Hispanic community have either cellular of fixed line phones. Imagine if when a US Hispanic client bought their phone line along with their US telephone number they were offered a local telephone number from their home country with unlimited inbound and outbound calling to Latin America for a flat fee. This is a highly compelling offering for the US Hispanic consumer as it is up to 85% cheaper then calling cards. For the service provider it generates additional revenue and profit per line while lowering customer churn as we have found the majority of consumers when they purchase their own telephone number from their home country do not want to change services”, added Mr. Keough.
Service providers by partnering with DigiLinea, and using the DigiLinea VoIP Enabler Platform, can now have access to the feature rich VoIP services of DigiLinea providing their US Hispanic clients with unique best of breed calling solutions. DigiLinea will be announcing in the coming weeks several leading service providers that will be leveraging the DigiLinea VoIP Enabler Platform to expand and enhance their offering to the US Hispanic market.
