ElephantTalk Announces Three Agreements for IP Services In Greater China Region
LOS ANGELES, March 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Elephant Talk Communications, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ETLK - news) www.elephanttalk.com , today announced three new agreements with JiTong Network Communications, China Netcom Corporation, and Great Wall Broadband Network, to launch new Internet Protocol (IP) services in the Greater China Region, Taiwan and Hong Kong. ElephantTalk is a majority owned subsidiary of The Hartcourt Companies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: HRCT, Frankfurt: HCT), www.hartcourt.com .

ElephantTalk has recently reached expanded reseller and cross branding agreements for Voice-Over-Internet-Protocol (VOIP) services with two of China`s largest and most influential telecom operators, JiTong Network Communications Company Limited ( http://www.gb.com.cn ), and China Netcom Corporation Limited ( www.cnc.net.cn ). ElephantTalk plans to provide a full range of IP telephony services, including PC2phone, PC2fax and other IP-based valued added services to selected high demand locations in Greater China in phase one of the program.

ElephantTalk has also signed a letter of intent with Great Wall Broadband Network ( http://www.gwbnet.com ), a rising star spearheading the development of a comprehensive broadband network across the major cities of China. Great Wall and ElephantTalk will co-operate in the sales and marketing of the PC2Phone and PC2Fax services in targeting their customers who are subscribing to their broadband network services.

``ElephantTalk`s proven record and established relationships with large carriers in the traditional International Direct Dial (IDD) market has provided us first mover status in capitalizing on these new opportunities,`` said Mr. Russelle Choi, President and CEO of ElephantTalk. ``The partnerships with JiTong, China Netcom and Great Wall Broadband will allow us to enter new markets, expand our networks, build our VOIP services, increase and diversify revenue, and strengthen our customer base.``

ElephantTalk will soon offer higher margin VOIP services to areas in Greater China where the demand for connectivity for calls to international destinations rank among the highest in the region. The services will initially target corporate customers. China`s telecom sector is still mostly regulated -- thus competitive pressure hasn`t lowered long distance charges as it has in the US -- the cost savings using VOIP compared to regular long distance can be as high as 50%-80%. ElephantTalk has installed packet- switched technology in its infrastructure and will route VOIP traffic through its privately managed IP networks.


Recently released reports:
-- Probe Research: Voice over IP (VOIP) traffic was responsible for a
record-setting 7.7 billion minutes in 2000, and the market is still in
its early stages. It is expected to grow dramatically, to 500 billion
minutes by 2005.

-- International Data Corporation (IDC): The PRC will render the highest
global growth in Internet telephony service revenue from 2002 onwards,
due to population size and the relative lack of basic telephony
services in the country. In addition, the research firm predicted that
Taiwan and Hong Kong, both relatively progressive telecom environments,
would produce substantial revenue growth from Non-PSTN market segments.


ElephantTalk is developing its strategies to capture market share in the expanding and untapped telecom markets of Greater China and Asia, and is striving to become a leading Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP), focused on the deployment of IP-based communications.

Bei ETLK gibt es durchaus noch deutliches Potential.

Das Unternehmen bietet bei der derzeitigen Bewertung noch genug Platz nach oben.

Die Partnerschaften die ETLK aufweist sprechen deutlich für den zukünftigen Erfolg.

Als man damals die erste Zusammenarbeit zwischen Jitong und ETLK bekannt gab wurde von weiteren gemeinsamen Tätigkeiten geschprochen. Zum einen ist Jitong sehr begeistert und zum zweiten können beide Unternehmen zusammen den chin. Markt erobern. Jeder wird vom anderen provitieren.

Wäre ETLK wirklich nichts wert, dann wäre es zu diesem Schritt (wie es im 1. Posting steht) nicht gekommen.

ElephantTalk Signs Milestone Agreement With EADS Multicoms; EADS Multicoms Expands in Asia in Partnership With ElephantTalk


LOS ANGELES, March 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EADS Multicoms, a 100% subsidiary of EADS (EADS, NV), has joined forces with Elephant Talk Communications, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ETLK - news), to accelerate its business development in Asia. EADS, the European Aeronautic Defense and Space company, is the European leader and number two worldwide in the aeronautics, defense and space fields, after Boeing. ElephantTalk is a subsidiary of the Hartcourt Companies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: HRCT - news).

Multicoms is an interconnect carrier operating circuit and packet switched voice solutions and services. The company operates hybrid and satellite long distance telecommunications, (license L 33-1), with its own long distance telephony network, providing solutions and services for interconnections with African, Asian, East European and Middle Eastern countries, and in difficult to reach destinations without access to fiber networks, fixed line, or standard wireless networks. More information about Multicoms can be obtained at www.multicoms.net .

ElephantTalk and EADS Multicoms have signed reciprocal carrier agreements to use each other`s networks, and call termination agreements to terminate premium quality telephony traffic in China and other areas of Asia for Multicoms, and for ElephantTalk to terminate traffic in Europe and in difficult access areas serviced by Multicoms. Estimates for the Multicoms termination traffic are for 5-6 million minutes initially, with revenues surpassing $1 million annually. Estimates for other revenues resulting from the agreement will be forthcoming as services are initiated. The agreement is to take effect immediately.

Mr. Russelle K.P. Choi, the Chairman of ElephantTalk, explains that, ``This is a no overlap, a win-win partnership. ElephantTalk and Multicoms networks are totally complementary. To take advantage of Multicoms direct routes to 67 hard-to-reach destinations and European cell phone networks, will definitely result in significant increase in income for ElephantTalk. In addition, ElephantTalk can benefit from the stable direct routes of Multicoms and from pricing advantages and service quality management resulting from direct negotiation of interconnection and call termination agreements established by Multicoms with local PTOs.``

After opening its Main Point of Presence (MPoP) in New York last month, EADS Multicoms is now announcing the opening of its Asia MPoP in Hong Kong. This fourth MPoP will support Multicoms` business growth by collecting Asian telephony traffic. This commercial and technical event represents a significant milestone in Multicoms` ramp-up, since the Pacific area is experiencing a rising and sustained growth rate.

Multicoms will benefit from the direct interconnection with the ElephantTalk`s telecommunications networks that have access to over 270 destinations worldwide. ``Accessing state-of-the-art telecommunications infrastructure in the Greater China region helps Multicoms to continue its fast growth pace while minimizing the investment since the company takes advantage of high quality available infrastructure,`` stated Mr. Gilles Deveau, Multicoms Chief Executive Officer. He further added, ``With the help of ElephantTalk`s sales locations in the Asia Pacific region and their networks complementary geographical coverage ElephantTalk is perfect for Multicoms to extend its leverage and to access the Asian markets, while ElephantTalk will benefit with additional traffic and revenues.``

This acquisition will significantly deepen our market penetration, expand our reach in the region and can additionally be used as a backbone for our voice-over-internet-protocol (VOIP) roll out in Indo-China and South Asia,`` said Mr. Russelle Choi, President and CEO of ElephantTalk. ``The addition of GridTel`s networks and facilities is expected to increase efficiencies, lower operating cost per minute, provide quicker time to market, and improve profit margins for our consolidated operations. This is the next step in our strategy to expand our strong foothold in the emerging Asian telecom markets, which have yet to be fully deregulated, and to take advantage of their tremendous untapped potential.``

``We are excited to join ElephantTalk. This combination is consistent with our goal of providing the absolute highest quality voice solutions for our customers,`` said Mr. Lewis Lu, General Manager of GridTel. ``Our customers will benefit from ElephantTalk`s global connections, advanced network architecture and quality customer service.``

ElephantTalk Partners With Great Wall Broadband For Rollout of VoIPservices and Calling Cards in Greater China

LOS ANGELES, Jun 17, 2002 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Elephant Talk Communications, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ETLK), today announced that the company will partner with Beijing Great Wall Broadband Network to launch new Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and calling card services in Greater China -- PRC, Taiwan and Hong Kong. ElephantTalk is a subsidiary of The Hartcourt Companies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: HRCT).

ElephantTalk ( www.elephanttalk.com ), and Great Wall Broadband ( www.gwbnet.com ), will operate a PC2Phone project that will employ ElephantTalk`s world-wide VoIP platform, PC2Phone software and technology, then coordinate with ChinaRailCom to launch the PC2Phone services to its existing customers, as well as issuing and selling a "GreatWall- RailCom-eTalk" PC2Phone prepaid calling card. The soft launch for the project is expected to take place in July.

This agreement with Great Wall will expand on ElephantTalk`s initial plans to resell the company`s PC2Phone and PC2Fax services to Great Wall`s customers who are subscribing to its broadband network services.

The company has already signed agreements with several metropolitan communities in the PRC cities like Chengdu, Shanghai, Kunming, Shenzhen, Wuhan, and Beijing. Within the year, it is estimated that its infrastructure will be able to cover a market of over one million users in the PRC.

"ElephantTalk looks forward to working with our new partners, Great Wall Broadband and ChinaRailcom, to bring IP and Calling Card services to under served areas of China`s vast telecom market," said Mr. Russelle Choi, President and CEO of ElephantTalk.

ETLK`s total revenues plunged 29% in the three months ended 6/30/02 compared to the same period in 2001. Its cost of sales also dropped about 29%, so ETLK once again eked out a gross profit of US$13,000.

However, after adding in operating and other costs (including another $90,000 writedown in the value of the HRCT shares it holds), ETLK`s net loss came in at US$835,000 for the quarter. That`s an improvement over ETLK`s US$1.1 million loss in last year`s second quarter.

A major cost for ETLK during the six months through 6/30/02 was the US$579,000 charge the company took related to the issuance of 1,710,000 shares to "certain consultants and advisors" in exchange for certain "services." ETLK`s S-8 filing with the SEC dated 4/11/02 names six "consultants and advisors" - including long-time HRCT attorney John Furutani, who provided his expert opinion on the S-8 itself - but does not indicate exactly what services these people are providing in exchange for this largesse. (ETLK`s S-8 filing dated 4/16/02 for another 2,000,000 shares - none of which appear to have been issued yet - names one "Tang Wai Leong" as an ETLK "consultant." Mr. Leong is well-known to HRCT shareholders as a "consultant" similarly rewarded for his actions on behalf of HRCT in concert with a certain Mr. Kwok, who received a large number of HRCT shares a couple of years ago and never paid for most of them. HRCT eventually admitted it did not expect to receive such payment any time soon.)

Oddly, under Note 8 of the 10-Q, ETLK management says, "Management devoted considerable effort during the period ended June 30, 2002, towards (i) obtaining additional equity financing (ii) controlling of salaries and general and administrative expenses and (iii) management of accounts payable. In that regard, on April 11 and 16, 2002, Elephant Talk filed two registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue 4,000,000 shares in aggregate, that will provide the necessary capital to settle certain obligations of the consultants and to continue its operations during 2002."

Yet it appears the 1,710,000 of these 4,000,000 shares that have been issued raised no money at all. Instead, these shares were given away in exchange for unnamed "services."

In fact, ETLK had to borrow an additional US$273,000 from "related parties" to keep its operations going during the period.

As with its parent HRCT in the past, ETLK`s current 10-Q also includes the warning that there is "substantial doubt about ElephantTalk`s ability to continue as a going concern."

ElephantTalk Takes Steps to Tap the Indo-China Market

HONG KONG, Dec 16, 2002 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Elephant Talk Communications, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ETLK) today announced that it has signed a Letter of Intent to acquire 100 per cent of Hicent Telecom (USA) Inc. ( www.hicent.com ). Hicent USA is a medium-sized international exchange carrier with an exclusive relationship with Saigon Post Telecommunications Corp. (SPT) one of Vietnam`s three telecom operators. The transaction will provide ElephantTalk significant additional corporate and wholesale telecommunication clients and expand the company`s established direct routing to transcontinental operating hubs, satellite connections, and related technical support facilities throughout the region with a strong operational emphasis in Indo-China.

Hicent USA has points of presence (POPs) assets in Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and PRC China. The company has strong relationships with local ISPs and international carriers in the Indo-China regions, and provides direct routes to China and Vietnam. Hicent USA records over 1.8 million calling minutes per month to Vietnam and has a traffic termination agreement with SPT. SPT owns legal licenses for international telecom access as a result of the Vietnam government`s official issuance of telecommunications business licenses in 1997. Since opening its telecom markets Vietnam has proceeded on a government-planned and regulated pace maintaining significantly higher profit margins over de-regulated markets, which are expected to continue over the next few years. Hicent USA is expected to be profitable with annual unaudited revenues for fiscal 2002 projected to increase over US$7.4 million.

"Hicent USA`s presence and relationship with major operators throughout the region, especially Vietnam and China definitely adds to the strength of ElephantTalk. This acquisition will significantly deepen our market penetration, expand our reach in the region and will enhance further co-operation and synergy with operators in Vietnam, as well as perfecting our backbone for voice-over-internet-protocol (VOIP) roll out in Indo-China and South Asia," said Mr. Russelle Choi, President and CEO of ElephantTalk. "The addition of Hicent USA`s networks, facilities, and connections is expected to put us in a favorable position when tapping the Indo-China markets. Furthermore, this will bring an increase in efficiencies, lower operating cost per minute, provide quicker time to market, and improve profit margins for our consolidated operations. This is the first big step in our strategy to expand our strong foothold in the emerging Asian telecom markets, which still have low user penetration and have yet to be fully deregulated. ElephantTalk is being positioned to take advantage of their tremendous untapped potential."

"We are excited to join ElephantTalk. This combination is consistent with our goal of providing the absolute highest quality voice solutions for our customers," said Mr. Jimmy Zheng, President of Hicent US. "With the help of ElephantTalk and its global connections, advanced network architecture and quality customer service, our project in Vietnam will definitely be a success."

This acquisition continues ElephantTalk`s expansion into Indo-China`s emerging telecom markets. The company has recently signed agreements with EADS Multicoms ( www.multicoms.net ), China Railway Communication Co., Ltd., China Netcom Corporation ( www.cnc.net.cn ), and Great Wall Broadband Network ( www.gwbnet.com ).
