NATIONAL GLASS ASSOCIATION TEAMS WITH M3COM TO PROVIDE DISCOUNTED PHONE SERVICES TO MEMBER COMPANIES

WASHINGTON, DC, June 27, 2006—The National Glass Association is partnering with U.S.-based telecom service provider M3COM to provide its member companies long distance services, cell phone plans and calling cards at significantly discounted rates.

“We are pleased that our alliance with M3COM will give our member companies the ideal mix of superior service and reduced cost that they’re looking for in a telecom provider,” said NGA Vice President of Association Services David Walker. “This is an invaluable addition to our member services program, and we know our members will happily take advantage of it.”

“Based on the member services NGA already has in place, the M3COM program was a perfect match,” said M3COM’s President and CEO, Jeffery Freitas. “No matter the size or nature of a business, phone communication is not only important but inevitable. When the expense associated is significantly reduced, it offers a major benefit to NGA members and their employees.”

“This new service will help our members compete. It will dramatically cut their telecom costs. What’s more, our members can offer this service to their employees for their own home use! This is sure-fire way to help members compete on several fronts,” states Tonya Johnson, Sr. Manager, Customer Service and Certification.

“From the initial sign-up, to the quality of service, to the rates offered, this program provides an essential benefit to the members of the NGA,” said Tim Colas, COO of M3COM. “The ability to leverage our relationships with carriers all over the country allows us to cut the costs of long distance services across the board, while offering the highest level of call quality and service.”

NGA Members may sign up for M3COM’s program by calling toll-free 866/236-7874. For more information on the NGA’s partnership, contact Tonya Johnson at 703/442-4890, ext 151.
