April 30, 2003 HUNTINGTON BEACH, Ca - RealTimeT1.com, a privately owned subsidiary of Telarus, Inc, today announced the grand launch of the long anticipated Real-Time quote engine designed to give the T1 shopper instant gratification, with 95% accurate loop pricing.

"The real-time shopping model works" commented Adam Edwards, CEO of Telarus, Inc. "The travel industry is a perfect example of how the internet can enable everyday people to access very complicated databases. Now, we are pleased to bring instant gratification to those looking to price T1 lines."

Apart from allowing people to research rates, RealTimeT1 also has a number of other unique features; most notably the ability to track leads referred by online affiliates and direct them to one of many part-time "closer" agents for personal care. This functionality allows RealTimeT1.com to improve the shopping experience, opens the door for online affiliates to earn residual commissions by driving traffic, and manages professional part-time sales agents from all over the counrty.

"Many people have asked how exactly we figure out T1 pricing, since it is so sensitive to the geographic location of each customer with relation to the carriers' physical equipment. Our software is able to calculate the distance from any location in the continental United States to any of our providers' Points of Presence (POPs). From there, we use proprietary pricing algorithms to convert the distance into a price" commented Patrick Oborn, CTO of Telarus, Inc.
