Farmstead Telephone Group Discusses Corporate Strategy in Interview on the Aurelius TV Network EAST HARTFORD, Conn., July 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Farmstead Telephone Group, Inc. (AMEX:FTG) announced today that Jean-Marc Stiegemeier, the Company's President, CEO, and Chairman, was featured in an interview on the Aurelius TV Network on Monday, July 25, 2005. Founded in 1984, Farmstead Telephone Group has historically served as a telecom equipment distributor and reseller to large enterprise companies and the United States government. Farmstead remains committed to its core business of reselling telecom equipment, but the Company is also evolving into a carrier-based provider of Hosted IP Telephony solutions for the Small to Medium Businesses (SMB) market. During the interview, Mr. Stiegemeier, a veteran of the telecommunications industry with over 30 years of experience, discusses the major paradigm shift the telecommunications industry has faced as the market shifts from traditional voice to VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). Recognizing this shift, he relates his role in restoring Farmstead's core business of reselling telecom equipment and also strategically redirecting the Company into the future by forming One IP Voice, a wholly owned subsidiary, which offers carrier-based hosted Voice over Intelligent Protocol (VoIP) services, targeting the SMB market.
