Avistar's C3 Teamroom MP Shakes Up Room-Based Videoconferencing MarketCompetitively priced solution combines 120 degree visibility with patented C3 videoconferencing software for unparalleled functionality and ease of use

SAN MATEO, Calif., March 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Avistar Communications Corporation has announced a highly-featured, low-cost videoconferencing system designed for small to medium sized meeting rooms and executive offices. Avistar's C3 Teamroom MP (Multi-Point) competes against rival products with multi-party calling, automated "track-the-talker" camera adjustment, presence-awareness, "click-to-call" connection, integrated IP network bandwidth management technology, and no-hassle interconnectivity with third party IP videoconferencing systems. A complete, turnkey solution, C3 Teamroom MP is available now and priced at $5,999.

"C3 Teamroom MP takes the high-end functionality of our successful C3 desktop videoconferencing software for unified communications, and packages it for the meeting room at a price that will upset the competition," said Stephen Epstein, chief marketing officer at Avistar. "It delivers everything you need -- no optional extras necessary -- for a team of up to 6 people to make 4-way calls with instant messaging-style ease of use. We also bundle 25 desktop videoconferencing licenses, to extend the benefits of richer communication across the organization."

Designed as a "self-service" videoconferencing solution, C3 Teamroom MP requires no technician support or advance call scheduling. An intuitive user interface needs little or no training; presence-awareness lets you see available parties and calls can be connected spontaneously with a simple drag- and-drop action. A "find-me/follow-me" feature routes calls to the room where the user is logged in, with no need to search for IP addresses or access codes. Industry standard hardware keeps cost of ownership low, and centralized administration and maintenance tools allow system administrators to perform most support functions remotely over the IP network. It also allows administrators to easily and inexpensively add additional locations into their existing videoconferencing network.

The solution includes a 25 seat license for Avistar's C3 desktop videoconferencing software, with additional licenses available for purchase. Installed on a webcam-equipped PC, the C3 Teamroom MP offers point-to-point videoconferencing capability that can be distributed across an organization to create a networked, face-to-face community. Avistar's C3 desktop software delivers proven gains in terms of improved quality of interaction, greater workflow efficiency and easier collaboration over distance. Clients report as much as a 20 percent reduction in travel expense and carbon emissions, a 3 percent increase in productivity, and immeasurably improved decision making and relationship building within their organizations, as well as with suppliers and customers.

Avistar's C3 Teamroom MP uses an advanced, multi-lens 120 degree aperture camera that enables as many as 6 people to videoconference from the same location. Developed by Yamaha, an array of 16 microphones provides automated "track-the-talker" audio and camera adjustment that moves and zooms in on the active participant. A new, fully integrated software MCU (multipoint control unit) permits multi-party conferencing with up to 4 locations. Call quality is assured by patented, market-proven bandwidth management technology that delivers TV-quality video without affecting other IP network traffic or requiring extra bandwidth. Compatibility with industry video standards, such as H.320, H.323 and SIP, allows no-hassle interconnectivity with existing and external room-based videoconferencing systems from other popular vendors. The C3 Teamroom MP package comes complete with a 24" HD LCD flat panel screen, PC tower, and wireless keyboard and mouse.

Epstein continued "we continue to innovate, build and deliver market leading product for enterprises of any size. Avistar gives our clients the ability to realize immediate value in productivity, client management, workflow efficiency, staff effectiveness and even environmental impact. In fact, with the launch of our new website on Friday anyone will be able to calculate some of the value that Avistar provides with our new on-line ROI calculator. Real value, simply measured".

Avistar's C3 Teamroom MP is priced at $5,999 and is available now either direct from Avistar or from Avistar-certified value-added resellers.

NeuStar Provides Operational Expertise to Department of Homeland Security's 'Cyber Storm II'Exercise Highlights the Critical Nature of DNS to the Security of the Internet

STERLING, Va., March 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NeuStar, Inc. announced today that it participated in Cyber Storm II, the largest ever multinational online security exercise, which was organized by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). As a provider of managed DNS and directory services to the global communications and Internet industry, NeuStar was among a select group of companies invited by DHS to help the government plan and conduct Cyber Storm II.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080310/NEUSTARLOGO )

The week-long Cyber Storm II exercise concluded on Friday, March 14, 2008. Participants included representatives from five countries (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States), several U.S. federal agencies, nine different states (Pennsylvania, Colorado, California, Delaware, Texas, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, and Virginia), and over 40 private sector companies.

The goal of the Cyber Storm II exercise was to examine security preparedness and response capabilities across a variety of infrastructure functions including information technology, communications, and transportation systems and assets. Various "cyber-focused" scenarios were posed, all of which escalated to the level of a national incident involving compromised Internet infrastructures and requiring a coordinated government/industry response.

NeuStar's participation in Cyber Storm II spanned four areas: -- Technical expertise in the stability and security of the global Internet, specifically in the areas of global routing and DNS. -- Design and development of custom scenarios specifically testing participant readiness and expertise in dealing with a large scale "cyber-attack" against both critical infrastructure components and the Internet as a whole. -- Operational expertise during exercise simulations, acting as a third- party vendor and modifying scenarios in real time to provide more realism. -- Post-exercise analysis and recommendations in the coming months to assist all of the participants in improving responses to significant cyber events.

"Cyber Storm II highlights the critical nature of both NeuStar and DNS to the operation and security of the Internet and the global activities it supports," said Rodney Joffe, senior vice president and senior technologist at NeuStar. "Our participation in Cyber Storm II demonstrated NeuStar's position as a trusted thought leader with regard to the global DNS infrastructure, and allowed us to showcase our technology and operational expertise. NeuStar is committed to ensuring the ongoing security and stability of the Internet, and we are honored to have participated as a key player in this important exercise."

Lessons learned from Cyber Storm II will be captured in ongoing evaluation sessions, and will be published in an after-action report to be published later this year by DHS.

ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES (Bermuda) LTD. ("ChipMOS" or the "Company") today reported unaudited consolidated financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2007. All U.S. dollar figures in this release are based on the exchange rate of NT$32.43 against US$1.00 as of December 31, 2007.

Net income on a US GAAP basis for the fourth quarter of 2007 was NT$1,231.8 million or US$38.0 million, and NT$14.70 or US$0.45 per basic common share, compared to NT$1,268.8 million or US$39.1 million, and NT$15.24 or US$0.47 per basic common share, for the third quarter of 2007. Net income under US GAAP includes non-cash gains for changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities of NT$554.4 million or US$17.1 million and amortization of discount on convertible notes of NT$84.2 million or US$2.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2007 and non-cash gains for changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities of NT$759.6 million or US$23.4 million and amortization of discount on convertible notes of NT$91.1 million or US$2.8 million for the third quarter of 2007.

The unaudited consolidated financial results of ChipMOS for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007 included the financial results of ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES INC., ChipMOS Japan Inc., ChipMOS U.S.A., Inc., ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES (H.K.) Limited, MODERN MIND TECHNOLOGY LIMITED and its wholly- owned subsidiary ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES (Shanghai) LTD., and ThaiLin Semiconductor Corp.

S.J. Cheng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ChipMOS, said, "We successfully achieved revenue growth over both the prior quarter and the fourth quarter of 2006, as well as on year-over-year basis, despite continued pricing pressure in DRAM products. We also increased our gross margin to 24.6% in the fourth quarter, compared to 24.2% in the third quarter of 2007. We will continue our efforts in cost reduction in 2008 to enhance profitability measures that added to our performance in 2007. In addition, revenue derived from our flash business increased by 16.2% in the fourth quarter of 2007 from the third quarter of 2007 as we increased our business with a strategic NOR flash customer, as well as gaining other new business from both Taiwan and overseas customers."

S.K. Chen, Chief Financial Officer of ChipMOS, said, "Our CapEx in the fourth quarter of 2007 was US$37.3 million, which was down from US$39.9 million in the third quarter of 2007. The improved cash flow in 2007 made our net debt to equity ratio significantly reduced from 97.6% in the third quarter of 2007 to 73.5% on the fourth quarter of 2007. Our net debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss from the sum of short-term bank loans, long-term debts and current portion of long-term debts. We intend to remain conservative with our capital expenditures going forward to generate more free cash flow from our operation, and we intend to use the cash savings to reduce our debt."

Selected Operation Data 4Q07 3Q07 FY07 Revenue by segment Testing 50% 48% 49% Assembly 34% 36% 34% LCD Driver 16% 16% 17% Utilization by segment Testing 81% 77% 78% Assembly 86% 90% 86% LCD Driver 69% 71% 71% Overall 81% 80% 80% CapEx US$37.3 US$39.9 US$187.9 million million million Testing 52% 77% 50% Assembly 42% 14% 34% LCD Driver 6% 9% 16% Depreciation and amortization US$55.6 US$53.3 US$213.4 expenses (US GAAP) million million million First Quarter 2008 Outlook

Mr. Cheng continued, "So far in 2008, our DRAM business has faced a rapid decline in customer demand, which may result in a price cut in our DRAM business for the first quarter. We currently expect DRAM oversupply in the market to continue, and overall market visibility in following quarters remains limited. As a result, we currently expect flash revenue in the first quarter of 2008 to decline due to normal seasonality and fewer working days in February from Chinese New Year. Such seasonality is expected to have minimal impact on our NOR flash wafer sort business due to our long-term program with our NOR flash customer. Together with the growing NAND business, we currently expect our flash business will continue to play a significant role in our business going forward. Finally, our driver IC business in the first quarter of 2008 is still expected to be in the down cycle. We currently anticipate that the first quarter will be the bottom of 2008 for our driver IC business, and the demand may gradually come back in the second quarter mainly due to decreased inventory level in the channel. However, we remain cautiously optimistic about the LCD market in 2008."

Considering all the negative impacts as: low capacity DRAM utilization rate, DRAM price erosion, seasonality in driver IC demand, and fewer working days in the first quarter, ChipMOS currently expects revenue for the first quarter of 2008 to be in the range of approximately US$144 million to US$150 million, which would represent approximately 20% to 23% decline compared to the fourth quarter of 2007. The Company currently expects US GAAP gross margin on a consolidated basis for the first quarter of 2008 to be in the range of approximately 8% to 11%, primarily due to lower capacity utilization. While we expect the market to be difficult in the first quarter of 2008, ChipMOS expects to have sufficient cash flow, and will continue its efforts on its cost savings to maintain profitability.

RECONCILIATION OF US GAAP NET INCOME TO NON-GAAP NET INCOME (UNAUDITED) For the Three Months Ended Dec. 31 and Sep. 30, 2007, and the Year Ended 2007 Figures in Million of U.S. dollars (USD) (1) Except for Per Share Amounts Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our consolidated income statement (unaudited) for the three months and the year ended Dec. 31, 2007 on a US GAAP basis, the Company uses a non-GAAP measure of net income, which is US GAAP net income adjusted to exclude two non-cash items referred to as special items. The two non-cash items excluded are changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities and amortization of discount on convertible notes. These items are considered by the management to be outside of the Company's core operating results. For example, changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities relate heavily to the Company's stock price, interest rate and volatility, all of which are difficult to predict and outside of the control of the Company and its management.

For these reasons, management uses non-GAAP adjusted measures of net income and non-GAAP net income per share to evaluate the performance of our core businesses, to estimate future core performance and to compensate employees. In addition, this information facilitates our management's internal comparisons to our historical operating results as well as to the operating results of our competitors.

The Company's management finds these supplemental non-GAAP measures to be useful, and we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in enabling them to perform additional analyses of past, present and future operating performance and as a supplemental means to evaluate our core operating results. However, readers are reminded that non-GAAP numbers are merely a supplement to, and not a replacement for, US GAAP financial measures. They should be read in conjunction with the US GAAP financial measures. It should be noted as well that our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.

The convenience translation should not be construed as representations that the NT Dollar amounts have been, or could be in the future be, converted into US dollars at this or any other exchange rate. (2) The Company's management believes excluding non-cash special item for the changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities from its non-GAAP financial measure of net income is useful for itself and investors as such gain (expense) does not have any impact on cash available to the Company. (3) The Company's management believes excluding non-cash amortization expense of discount on convertible notes from its non-GAAP financial measure of net income is useful for itself and investors as such expense does not have any impact on cash available to the Company. (4) Non-GAAP diluted net income per share for the third quarter and the fourth quarter of 2007 are US$0.17 and US$0.22, respectively, same as those under US GAAP, since US GAAP adjusted diluted net income has excluded the two non-cash special items for non-GAAP reconciliation.

iSECUREtrac Reports Year End 2007 Financial ResultsRecurring Revenues up 13 % Over 2006

OMAHA, Neb., March 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- iSECUREtrac Corp. (BULLETIN BOARD: ISEC) , an industry leader in electronic monitoring solutions, reported total revenue for the year ending December 31, 2007 was up 9% to $8.8 million, from $8.1 million the prior year.

For the year ending December 31, 2007, the company reported a net loss of $7.2 million, compared to a net loss of $5.4 million for 2006. The increase in net loss was primarily due to:

1. Litigation and settlement expenses related to a patent infringement lawsuit ($1,118,000). The lawsuit, brought by a competitor, alleged that certain components in iSECUREtrac's GPS systems infringed on their patent. The settlement included a cash payment as well as equipment purchases which iSECUREtrac will subsequently use to generate additional revenue. 2. Restructuring of the entire executive team and senior management ($407,000). This expense is related to the recruitment and relocation of new executive officers and senior management as well as the severance costs associated with some of the departing executives. 3. Outside consulting expenses to ensure Sarbanes-Oxley compliance ($70,000). 4. Increased interest expense ($371,000). This was a result of increased borrowing from Crestpark LP, an affiliate of the company's largest shareholder, Sammons Enterprises, and the continuing use of capital leases to finance equipment purchases.

"Litigation and settlement costs, management restructuring and Sarbanes-Oxley added $1.6 million in expenses for 2007," said Lincoln Zehr, CFO of iSECUREtrac. "Without these three items, our operating loss, before interest, would have been $5.1 million, an improvement compared to the operating loss of $5.3 million in 2006."

"Although our total revenue increased by 9%, our gross profit increased by 15% over 2006 as a result of a gross margin improvement of 3 points, from 56% to 59%," continued Zehr. "This was the third consecutive year of improvement in gross margin percentage."

"Overall, I am disappointed by our 2007 financial performance," stated Peter Michel, CEO of iSECUREtrac. "We began the year with encouraging Beta tests on the System 5000, fully anticipating a national roll-out late in the second quarter. As we deployed units in the field, we encountered a few unanticipated issues not usually discoverable in a laboratory or test environment. These product issues were not fully resolved until November, 2007 when we were able to resume the System 5000 roll-out in volume. As a result, our increase in recurring revenue was only 13%."

"In addition," continued Michel, "we spent $1.1 million to settle a patent infringement lawsuit. Although we still firmly believe the case was without merit, a trial would have been even more costly and distracted us from our main task of growing top line revenue."

"However, it would be a mistake to ignore the significant achievements of 2007 which are not reflected in the current year's financial results," said Michel. "During the year, we added three exceptionally qualified and talented executives to our senior management team. We also provided additional opportunities to grow recurring revenues through services like Monitoring Center Intervention in which our staff works directly with offenders to resolve compliance issues without the involvement of supervising officers at our agency clients."

"Looking forward," concluded Michel, "the company is in a much stronger position today than at the close of 2006 to capitalize on the strengths of our new and talented executive team, the superior performance of the System 5000, increasing demand for our services and the continued robust expansion of the market."

Eutelsat Communications rend hommage à Sir Arthur C. Clarke << Le Père de l'orbite géostationnaire >>

PARIS, March 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris : ETL) rend hommage à l'écrivain de science fiction et au scientifique, Sir Arthur C. Clarke, qui est décédé aujourd'hui à Colombo, au Sri Lanka, et qui par ses connaissances techniques et son imagination a préparé la voie aux communications par satellite.

C'est dans son article publié dans la revue britannique << Wireless World >>, en octobre 1945, que Sir Arthur C. Clarke avait décrit le potentiel que représentait l'orbite géostationnaire pour les satellites. La théorie de Clarke était qu'à une altitude de 36 000 km au-dessus de la Terre, un satellite effectuerait une révolution toutes les vingt-quatre heures ; autrement dit, il resterait stationnaire au-dessus du mÃªme repère terrestre. Aujourd'hui, éléments vitaux de la Société de l'Information, plus de 300 satellites évoluent sur la << Ceinture de Clarke >>, fournissant au monde entier des services de diffusion, de haut débit et de télécommunications.

Giuliano Berretta, Président-directeur général d'Eutelsat Communications a déclaré à cette occasion : << La communauté des opérateurs de satellites a appris avec une grande tristesse le décès de Sir Arthur C. Clarke, et j'en suis moi-mÃªme personnellement affecté. J'ai été dans ma jeunesse un grand admirateur de son oeuvre de science-fiction, et j'ai continué de l'Ãªtre dans ma vie professionnelle consacrée aux satellites de télécommunications et de télédiffusion. Nous avons été régulièrement en contact et, en 2000, nous lui avons dédié notre satellite SESAT 1 qui est le plus proche en longitude de son domicile srilankais. En février dernier, Eutelsat a envoyé une équipe de tournage pour réaliser ce qui devait Ãªtre sa dernière interview. >>

Eutelsat Communications Pays Tribute to Sir Arthur C. Clarke 'Father of the Geostationary Orbit'

PARIS, March 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Eutelsat Communications (Euronext Paris: ETL) pays tribute to Sir Arthur C. Clarke, the writer and scientist whose expertise and imagination ushered in the age of satellite communications and who died today in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

It was Sir Arthur C. Clarke's article published in the British Journal 'Wireless World' in October 1945 that mapped out the potential of the geostationary orbit for satellite communications. Clarke's theory was that at an altitude of 36,000 km above the earth a satellite would make one revolution every 24 hours; i.e., that it would remain stationary above the same spot. Today, over 300 satellites are located in the 'Clarke Belt', providing broadcasting, broadband and telecommunications services around the world and forming a vital component of the Information Society.

Giuliano Berretta, Eutelsat Communications CEO said: "Sir Arthur C. Clarke's departure is a sad day for all satellite operators, and also for me personally. I was a great admirer of his science-fiction work at an early age, and even more so later in my professional life working in telecommunications and television satellites. I was regularly in contact with him, and in 2000 Eutelsat dedicated to him our SESAT1 satellite which is the nearest in longitude from his home in Sri Lanka. As recently as February this year Eutelsat sent a film crew to interview him in what may be his last interview."

Towerstream Announces Fiscal 2007 ResultsRevenues increase 21.9% in Fourth Quarter 2007 over Fourth Quarter 2006

MIDDLETOWN, R.I., March 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Towerstream , a leading fixed wireless Internet provider currently operating in eight major metropolitan areas, today announced financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

2007 Highlights -- Grew sales force to 95 from 15 -- Raised over $54 million in funding -- Launched Seattle and Miami markets -- Listed on Nasdaq -- Upgraded network throughout our markets -- Completed 180 seat sales center in corporate headquarters -- Completed spectrum acquisitions in two markets Key Financial and Operating Highlights (All financial results are in thousands, except loss per share and ARPU) (Unaudited) (Audited) Three Months Ended Year Ended 12/31/2007 9/30/2007* 12/31/2007 12/31/2006 Financial Highlights Revenues $1,906 $1,765 $6,883 $6,296 Cost of revenues $799 $659 $2,469 $1,642 Gross profit margin % 58% 63% 64% 74% Depreciation $601 $502 $1,879 $1,206 Customer support services $322 $258 $932 $491 Selling expenses $1,442 $1,050 $3,588 $1,082 General and administrative expenses (1) $1,859 $1,489 $6,827 $2,566 Total operating expenses $5,023 $3,958 $15,695 $6,987 Loss from operations $(3,117) $(2,193) $(8,812) $(691) Interest income $527 $597 $1,461 $1 Interest expense $(133) $(133) $(975) $(238) Other (expense)/income $(4) $(16) $(176) $116 Net loss $(2,727) $(1,745) $(8,502) $(812) Loss per share $(0.08) $(0.05) $(0.29) $(0.05) EBITDA before Stock-based compensation (2) $(2,213) $(1,431) $(6,063) $732 Operating Metrics Churn rate (2) 2.03% 1.28% 1.62% 2.20% ARPU (2) $725 $694 $686 $671 ARPU of new subscribers (2) $767 $748 $799 $557 Number of employees 157 115 157 35 * Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to current year presentation. (1) Includes Stock-based compensation of $307 and $276, respectively, and $1,046 and $101, respectively. (2) See Non-GAAP Measures below. 2007 Financial Results of Operations

Towerstream's total revenue was $6.9 million, an increase of 9.3% over 2006 revenue of $6.3 million. This increase was primarily attributable to the increases in the average revenue per user ("ARPU") and the growth of our network subscriber base. ARPU of new subscribers increased 43% to $799 in 2007 versus 2006 primarily due to a gravitation toward higher bandwidth products by subscribers.

Customer churn, represented as a percent of revenue lost on a monthly basis from subscribers disconnecting from our networks, averaged 1.62% for 2007 compared to 2.20% for the previous year, a reduction of approximately 26%.

Cost of revenues, which consists of tower rental charges, bandwidth purchases, and related engineering costs and overhead, exclusive of depreciation, totaled $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, resulting in gross margins, before depreciation, of 64.1% and 73.9%, respectively, a decrease of 9.8%. The decreased margin is the result of increases in both tower rent expense and bandwidth purchases for both new and unannounced markets, (markets which are in some stage of development but are not yet operational), increases in network supplies and shipping costs and increased expenses related to site work visits, as well as additional network staffing in the period.

Depreciation expense totaled $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, representing an increase of 55.8%. This increase was the result of purchases of capital equipment used to expand our markets and upgrade our network.

Customer support services totaled approximately $932,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to approximately $491,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, representing an increase of 89.9%. This increase was the result of new hires throughout 2007 to meet the needs of our growing customer base.

Selling expenses, which consist primarily of commissions, salaries and advertising expenses, totaled $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, representing an increase of 231.6%. Of this increase, $1.9 million related to the expansion of our sales force and sales support team to 95 from 15 employees. Advertising expense increased by approximately $551,000 due to our efforts to expand our network subscriber base.

General and administrative expenses, which consist of salaries and overhead expenses, totaled $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, representing an increase of 166.1%. This increase was partly attributable to recurring and non-recurring expenses associated with the transition from a private to a public company. Increases in professional fees, printing, taxes and filing costs totaled approximately $1.1 million during the year. We incurred additional one-time costs of approximately $477,000 related to our reverse merger and equity and debt financings in 2007.

The remaining increase in G&A expense was driven primarily by administrative staffing increases of $1.2 million. Stock-based compensation also increased by approximately $900,000 to $1.0 million from the same period in 2006.

Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2007 totaled $1.5 million as compared to $1,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase was attributable to the capital raising efforts of January 2007 and June 2007, which resulted in net proceeds of approximately $51,600,000.

Interest expense totaled $975,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $238,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. This increase was primarily attributable to various non-cash charges associated with our capital restructuring totaling $679,000 plus accrued interest of $268,000 on the new debentures, offset by a decrease in shareholder loan interest of $158,000.

We recorded a net loss of $(8.5) million or $(0.29) per share for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to a net loss of $(812,000) or $(0.05) per share for the year ended December 31, 2006. The net loss was primarily attributable to certain non-recurring costs associated with our recent equity and debt financing recorded to general and administrative expenses, recurring costs associated with transitioning from a private to public company, and market and capacity expansion initiatives. We believe that net losses will continue as we make required additions to our sales, engineering and administrative personnel and to our network in order to increase revenues and subscriber growth.

EBITDA before stock-based compensation for the year was $(6.1) million, compared to $732,000 for the prior year.

Fourth Quarter 2007 Results

Revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 were $1.9 million, compared to revenues of $1.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 an increase of 21.9%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to increases in ARPU and the addition of new customers. Compared to third quarter revenues of $1.8 million, fourth quarter revenues grew 8.0%.

ARPU of new subscribers was $767 for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 compared to ARPU of $748 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, a 2.5% increase. Customer churn for the fourth quarter was 2.03% compared to 1.28% for the prior year period. Although the trend in churn has been positive in 2007, we experienced anomalies in October 2007 due to the natural conclusion of service contracts with two customers with projects of finite duration. We expect to see continued churn levels well below 2.0% going forward.

Cost of revenues, net of depreciation, for the fourth quarter totaled $799,000, producing gross margin of 58.1%, which is down 4.6% from our third quarter margin of 62.7%. The decrease in gross margin was primarily attributed to increased tower expenses and bandwidth purchases, increases in the cost of network supplies as well as additional network staffing. Tower rent expense increased due to expansion into the new markets and by adding new coverage in existing markets.

Customer support expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 were $322,000, up from $258,000 in the prior quarter, due to increased staffing to support our growing customer base.

Selling expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 totaled $1.4 million, up $392,000, representing a 37.3% increase from the third quarter, primarily due to the expanded sales force as well as advertising costs.

General and administrative expenses increased by $370,000, or 24.8%, to $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 as compared to $1.5 million in third quarter. We recorded a full quarter of incremental rent due to the opening of our sales center and the expansion of our corporate offices in Q3 2007, resulting in an increase of $121,000. Administrative staffing increases were the primary driver of the remaining increase to salaries and overhead for the quarter.

The net loss for the fourth quarter was $(2.7) million or $(0.08) per share versus a net loss of $(1.7) million or $(0.05) per share for third quarter 2007.

EBITDA before stock-based compensation for the fourth quarter was $(2.2) million, compared to $(1.4) million for the previous quarter.

As of December 31, 2007, we had working capital of $38,899,104 due primarily to our capital raising activities in 2007. We believe that our current operating activities, together with the money raised, will enable us to meet our anticipated cash needs for the foreseeable future.

As of March 12, 2008, there were 34,537,718 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

Towerstream Outlook

"2007 was a very important year for Towerstream Corporation. It was a year to build a solid operating foundation that could support us for years to come. Significant strides were made across all areas of our business and within all of our operating departments. We built a large sales facility and sales organization, led by a capable sales management team. We completed the new network operations facility that will enable Towerstream to scale and deliver our innovative products. We now control spectrum in two top ten markets with over 500 Million MHz/POPs. The company is well financed and poised for significant growth through 2008 and beyond", said Jeff Thompson, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Non-GAAP Measures

The terms "EBITDA before Stock-based compensation", "Churn", "Churn rate" and "ARPU" are measurements used by Towerstream to monitor business performance and are not recognized measures under GAAP. Accordingly, investors are cautioned in using or relying upon these measures as alternatives to recognized GAAP measures. Our methods of calculating these measures may differ from other issuers and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

The term "EBITDA before Stock-based compensation" refers to income before deducting interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation. The terms "Churn" and "Churn rate" refer to the percent of revenue lost on a monthly basis from subscribers disconnecting from our networks. The term "ARPU" refers to average revenue per subscriber, calculated as the average revenue for the period divided by the average number of subscribers on the network. ARPU of new subscribers is calculated as the monthly recurring revenue generated by new subscribers during a period divided by the total number of new subscribers added during the period.

The Non-GAAP measure, EBITDA before Stock-based compensation, has been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure, Net loss, as follows:

Dow Jones Insight-2008 Presidential Election Media Pulse: Democratic Presidential Candidates Face-Off in the Heat of Controversy

NEW YORK, March 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Results from the Dow Jones Insight-2008 Presidential Election Media Pulse show that controversy, not policy, drove much of the election coverage for Democrats over the past week and a half. Presidential supporters Eliot Spitzer, Geraldine Ferraro, Jeremiah Wright, and Samantha Power made headlines for issues of prostitution, race, gender and terrorism, affecting popular opinion of the candidates themselves.

The Dow Jones Insight-2008 Presidential Election Media Pulse showed that during the past week and a half, Clinton was mentioned in proximity to "Geraldine Ferraro" or "Ferraro" a total of 4,597 times, in proximity to "Eliot Spitzer" or "Spitzer" 2,550 times, and near "Samantha Power" 1,465 times. Obama, meanwhile, received 4,388 mentions in proximity to "Geraldine Ferraro" or "Ferraro," and he was mentioned 3,183 times in proximity to "Rev Jeremiah Wright," "Jeremiah Wright" or "Wright." He was also mentioned 1,342 times near "Samantha Power."

Candidates Feel the Negative Effects of Scandal

A review of the favorability analysis in Dow Jones Insight points to a marked increase in negativity of mainstream press coverage surrounding both of the democratic presidential candidates.

During the week of March 7-12, Obama's advisor referred to Clinton as a "monster," Ferraro made racially controversial remarks about Obama, and Spitzer was named in a prostitution scandal. Obama's coverage was positive 24% of the time, up from 21% in the last period analyzed, while Clinton dropped to 13% from 21% due to her close ties to controversy.

During the week of March 13-18, however, Obama's positive coverage fell sharply to 9%, while Clinton's slipped a bit further to 10%. During this period, Obama's association with his pastor was questioned, and all three candidates engaged in a war of words over Iraq.

Clinton Takes the Lead in Pennsylvania Media Coverage

Meanwhile in the Pennsylvania press and despite a decreasing percentage of positive coverage for both candidates, Clinton has gained an advantage as the percentage of documents rated as positive fell dramatically for Obama, to 10% in the second period from 27% in the first. Positives slipped to 17% from 21% for Clinton, possibly giving her an advantage in next month's key primary.

Total coverage during the week of March 13-18, still shows Clinton with a slight edge with 1,530 mentions of "Hillary Clinton," compared with 1,455 mentions of "Barack Obama" and 766 for "John McCain."

The Dow Jones Insight-2008 Presidential Election Media Pulse tracks four key areas of media coverage related to the election, as reported across traditional and social media sources, including:

-- Coverage of key issues by party -- Issue ownership by party -- Coverage of policies by media type -- Share of voice analysis -- press coverage by each candidate

The Dow Jones Insight-2008 Presidential Election Media Pulse provides a high-level view of a competitive media landscape and demonstrates how candidates and issues are covered in the media and how that coverage changes over time. Dow Jones Insight combines proven research methodologies, trusted content and advanced text-mining and visualization tools to deliver strategic qualitative and quantitative media measurement metrics.

China Can Now Lay Groundwork for SOI, Says SoitecIndustry at Opportune Time to Benefit From Convergence of Foundrie's Technological Readiness and Growing Industry Support for Chip Designers

SHANGHAI, China, March 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Soitec (Euronext Paris: SOI), the world's leading supplier of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers and other engineered substrates, said in a press conference today during Semicon China that growing industry-wide momentum in SOI-based design and manufacturing presents China's explosive growth chip industry with ideal conditions to add SOI technology to its roadmap.

SOI is used today in a growing number of advanced electronic devices for a wide variety of applications, ranging from automobiles to portable consumer products. SOI-based chips are cost-efficient to manufacture, and designed to be power-efficient and performance-enhancing. The timely convergence of China's technological readiness and increased industry-wide support for SOI design and manufacturing can facilitate the move to SOI by China's foundries and fabless companies.

"This is a fortuitous time for China's semiconductor industry, which has tremendous potential to take advantage of SOI's unique features. But in order for China to align with industry leaders, foundries and fabless players need to begin laying the groundwork now," said Andre-Jacques Auberton-Herve, president and CEO of the Soitec Group.

"As a founding member of the SOI Industry Consortium*, Soitec is working with 21 leading companies to support the acceleration of SOI innovation across a broad range of markets and reducing barriers of adoption. We expect that chip designers and manufacturers in China will be early beneficiaries of this endeavor, and we will move forward together," Auberton-Herve said.

As part of its commitment to meeting both existing and expected demand for SOI throughout Asia, Soitec is currently qualifying customers at its new 300-mm fab, known as Pasir Ris 1, built in Singapore to support the rapidly growing Asian market.

Note to Editors About SOI:

Most chips are fabricated on wafers made of silicon. SOI (Silicon-On-Insulator) refers to a special kind of silicon wafer, in which a layer of insulation is added just below the top surface. Leading chip companies are using these SOI wafers to manufacture chips for PCs, game consoles, telecommunications devices, automotive and industrial applications and more. The main reason they choose to manufacture their chips on SOI wafers instead of "bulk" silicon wafers is that the embedded layer of insulation helps keep the electrical current from leaking out of the chip. The result is that these SOI-based chips run up to 30% faster or cut power usage by as much as 50%. Soitec owns a patented process called Smart Cut(TM), which is used to manufacture most of the SOI wafers in the world.

*http://www.soiconsortium.org/ About the Soitec Group:

The Soitec Group is the world's leading innovator and provider of the engineered substrate solutions that serve as the foundation for today's most advanced microelectronic products. The group leverages its proprietary Smart Cut(TM) technology to engineer new substrate solutions, such as silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers, which became the first high-volume application for this proprietary technology. Since then, SOI has emerged as the material platform of the future, enabling the production of higher performing, faster chips that consume less power.

Today, Soitec produces more than 80 percent of the world's SOI wafers. Headquartered in Bernin, France, with two high-volume fabs on-site, Soitec has offices throughout the United States, Japan and Taiwan, and a new production site in the process of customers' qualification in Singapore.

Two other divisions, Picogiga International (Les Ulis) and Tracit Technologies (Bernin), complete the Soitec Group. Picogiga focuses on delivering advanced substrates solutions, including III-Vs epiwafers and gallium nitride (GaN)-based wafers, to the compound material world for the manufacture of high-frequency electronics and other optoelectronic devices. Tracit, on the other hand, focuses on thin-film layer transfer technologies used to manufacture advanced substrates for power ICs and microsystems, as well as generic circuit transfer technology for applications such as image sensors and 3D-integration. Shares of the Soitec Group are listed on Euronext Paris. For more information, visit http://www.soitec.com/.
