IMTO InterMetro Communications Inc (CE)

InterMetro Communications, Inc. (Symbol: IMTO) announces an expansion of direct end-office coverage to InterMetro's existing FGD Network. This expansion significantly extends InterMetro's direct end-office coverage within the United States and will provide additional "high availability" services across its current and new offerings. 

With this expansion, InterMetro will further address growing market needs for "high availability" Direct Voice Termination, DID, and Origination services.

"This announcement marks an exciting time for InterMetro," says Eric Fuchs, CSO of InterMetro. "The voice market is requesting (and in many cases requiring) direct end-office coverage; InterMetro is committed to responding to and fulfilling our customers' (and future customers) market needs."
