TARGUSinfo Receives 2006 Product of the Year Award from Communications Solutions

Enhanced Call Detail services honored for outstanding innovation

VIENNA, Va. May 11, 2007 — TARGUSinfo, the leading provider of On-Demand InformationSM services for telecommunication providers and other consumer-facing businesses, today announced that Technology Marketing Corporation's (TMC) Communications Solutions (www.tmcnet.com/comsol) has named TARGUSinfo Enhanced Call Detail services a recipient of a 2006 Product of the Year Award.

Announced just six months ago, Enhanced Call Detail services dramatically increase the valuable call information telco providers can provide their subscribers, thereby increasing subscriber growth, reducing churn and curbing customer support costs.

Enhanced Call Detail services are part of the TARGUSinfo suite of Next-Generation Caller ID services that enable caller name delivery from our single data source to any communications device, including televisions, PCs and wireless devices.

While most providers show customers only bare-bones data about the name of an inbound caller, providers who use TARGUSinfo Enhanced Call Detail services can offer subscribers a wealth of on-demand information about all of their calls, including full name of the caller and full address as well as business/consumer and landline/wireless status. Without TARGUSinfo Enhanced Call Detail services, providers can offer little more than a phone number and switch location. TARGUSinfo Enhanced Call Detail services are a foundation for value-added personal management tools, such as interactive address books, as well as tools for businesses that provide warm leads and enable automated follow-up marketing.

"Enhanced Call Detail services help communications providers win subscribers and lock them in for the long term," said Rob Fisher, TARGUSinfo Vice President of Segment Strategy. "The secret is transforming the phone bill from red tape into a powerful information and marketing tool."

The 2006 Product of the Year Award winners can be found on the Communications Solutions Web site.

"TARGUSinfo has been recognized with a 2006 Product of the Year Award for its excellence in technological advancement and application refinement," said Rich Tehrani, TMC President and Group Editor-in-Chief of Communications Solutions. "TARGUSinfo has proven it is committed to quality and excellence in solutions that benefit the customer experience as well as ROI for the companies that use them. I am pleased to honor their hard work and accomplishments and look forward to more innovative solutions from the company in the future."

The seventh annual Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award recognizes the vision, leadership and attention to detail that are the hallmarks of the prestigious award. The most innovative products and services brought to market in 2006 have been selected as recipients of this year's Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award for their groundbreaking achievement.
