LOS ANGELES, CA (January 17, 2007) — GlobalTouch Telecom, Inc., a leading provider of vertically-integrated VoIP platforms, today announced that Gregory O. Welch, CEO, has accepted an invitation to participate in the Service Provider Shoot Out at TMC’s INTERNET TELEPHONY® Conference & EXPO East 2007 on Thursday, January 25 at 4:15 P.M. at the Ft.

The Service Provider Shoot Out is a panel discussion made up of the industry's leading experts aimed at exploring the market and finding out exactly where we stand today.

Topics will range to include net neutrality, the latest government regulations, competitive pressures, the advent of fixed/mobile convergence and IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem), wireless considerations such as WiFi and WiMAX, IPTV, and Triple Play strategies, and so much more. It’s an exciting time — and a challenging time — to be a service provider in today’s climate.

Welch, CEO at GlobalTouch Telecom. “I am looking forward to sharing our experiences as a leading VoIP service provider, as well as providing insight into what we can expect to see in the year to come.
