International, Inc. (Amex: FSN), a provider of advanced VoIP services,
announced today that Matthew Rosen, its chief executive officer, will
participate in a panel discussion on telecommunications and technology at

Internet access, and other Internet services to, from, in and between
emerging global markets. Under its efonica brand name, the company

"The opportunities in Latin America and other emerging markets are very
significant for our VoIP services," said Mr. Rosen. "The discussion is
particularly timely, as we are on the cusp of launching our new suite of
VoIP services in many of these markets. I am very honored to have been
asked to speak at this conference since we know the challenges and rewards
of the Latin America market first hand, and the impact that enhanced
telecommunications and Internet services will have as the economies in the
region continue to develop and expand," said Mr. Rosen.

diverse business models that meet market needs and provide world-class
service against the background of widely varying cultural, technological
and economic circumstances. In particular, his company has harnessed the

telecommunications services to consumers and businesses around the globe.
He will address the prospects he sees for VoIP services and the future of
telecommunications as a change agent and economic engine in the region.
"When we enter a market, we seek to partner with local entities
designed to meet both the needs and limitations of the communities in which
we operate," said Mr. Rosen. "It is the insight we've gained from this
activity that I hope to share with the attendees of the conference."
Arthur Navarro, conference chairman stated, "We are very pleased that
Matthew Rosen can participate in this important event and share his
insights on telecommunications and technology advancements. This event will
bring together Latin American business, government and community leaders
and an array of other distinguished and dedicated leaders. Our nonpartisan
conference will include a diverse and select group of business leaders,
noteworthy academicians, and key U.S. Hispanic NGO representatives to
identify immediate and pragmatic solutions to some of Latin America's most
pressing problems."
