to other Global Village subscribers or to other VoIP users with SIP

standard. Global Village users can also access a wide range of advanced
telecommunication services like voice mail, multi-number call forwarding,
and call conferencing at no charge and with no monthly fee.

Subscribers can also take advantage of Global Village’s “pay-per-call”
service at anytime. This service offers very low rates for international
calls to any regular telephone to or from almost any country in the world.
Customers are only charged for the calls they make, when they make them.
Call information, including duration and cost for each call, can be viewed
anytime — even during the call — on the Global Village website. The
Global Village website also makes it easy to manage a subscriber’s account
and to set up or reconfigure special Global Village features.

Zoom worked with Aztech to customize the service for Aztech’s core retail
market by adding Singapore dollars to the subscriber’s payment options.
Zoom is also providing Aztech customers with 60 minutes of free calling to
regular phones in 27 countries, so Aztech customers can experience the
quality and ease of use for themselves.

Aztech announced on May 30, 2005, that its first product with Global
Village, the V300ATA VoIP Broadband Router, “will be available at major
stores like Harvey Norman, Best Denki and Challenger Superstores as well as
retail and computer outlets in Sim Lim Square and Funan Centre, Singapore
in early June 2005.”

“Aztech Internet Phone Service Starter Kit provides out-of-the-box
connectivity, combining Aztech’s high-quality hardware with a premium
Internet phone service from Global Village, thereby allowing customers to
make high-quality phone calls over their broadband connection at a fraction
of today’s overseas call charge. This translates to substantial cost
savings for consumers,” said Mr Michael Mun, President and CEO of Aztech
Systems Ltd.

“We are extremely pleased to have Global Village bundled with Aztech’s VoIP
products,” said Frank Manning, Zoom’s President and CEO. “Aztech is a
world-class producer of communication products with over 1,800 employees
worldwide. This relationship extends Global Village into major new markets
including Asia, and represents a strong endorsement of Zoom and our Global
Village service.”
