Singapore, 2006 - ValueFirst will represent MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operator)
for enterprises in the Asia-Pacific conference to be held from 12th July 2006 to
14th July 2006 in Singapore. ValueFirst, which is a leading MVNO for data services
with over 350 enterprises as its customers, has established operations in Germany,
India, Pakistan, Romania and the UK.

Organised by Informa Telecom & Media, MVNOs & Mobile Brands Asia Pacific 2006
conference would examine the emergence of MVNO as an industry in the Asia-Pacific
region. The forum will be a confluence of experts from the telecom industry, the
consulting domain and the investor community and would focus on different business
models and the gamut of services that can be offered by the MVNOs.

ValueFirst is one of its kind MVNO with a clear focus on the mobile data needs of
enterprises. Mr. Vijay Shukla, Country Head, ValueFirst, has been invited to the
said conference as a mobile expert to speak on the business case for ValueFirst's
SMS-only MVNO offering to enterprises. The unique business model of ValueFirst
creates significant value for enterprises due to an extremely low TCO (Total cost of
ownership) of its solution and yet makes the model attractive because of high
customer stickiness and recurring revenue stream. The offerings of ValueFirst are
targeted and it has got a bouquet of products to cater to the specific requirements
of the SOHOs, SMEs and enterprises.

Since the MVNOs are yet to receive the due recognition as an industry, the telecom
regulators in various countries have still not modified the regulations to create a
level playing field for the MVNOs vis-à-vis the mobile operators. For example, in a
few countries, mobile operators hesitate to provide SS7 linkage to MVNOs due to lack
of clear regulatory mechanism to ensure mobile operators providing SS7 link to the
MVNOs.

The forum is likely to provide voice to MVNOs by highlighting the unique advantages
offered by them over mobile operators and expedite the perceptible need to review
the telecom regulations in light of the emergence of MVNOs.
