bcgi Opens New Office in Spain

10:04 pm   -   October 13th, 2006

bcgi (NASDAQ:BCGI), a leading provider of products and solutions that enable mobile operators and mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) worldwide to differentiate their offerings and increase market penetration while reducing costs, has recently announced its continued international expansion with the official opening of an office in Madrid, Spain. The new location places bcgi directly in the economic heart of Spain, giving clients in Southern Europe greater access to the company’s expertise in billing and payment solutions.

As deregulation opens Spain’s telecom market to allow MVNOs to operate on local carrier networks, bcgi is well-positioned to provide global MVNOs with an array of products, solutions and services. As a principal provider of managed billing, payment and access management solutions, bcgi brings its leading expertise to current and emerging operators and MVNOs in Spain and Southern Europe.

“Deregulation has triggered demand for sophisticated billing and payment services with MVNOs entering the market,” said E.Y. Snowden, bcgi president and CEO. “Leveraging bcgi’s enviable experience in providing essential products and solutions for MVNOs in the United States, we are excited to expand our business reach to burgeoning markets in Spain and Southern Europe.”

The Madrid office will be headed by Leopoldo Moreno, managing director of bcgi Iberia, who will report to David Fondots, vice president of bcgi International Sales. Moreno brings his years of experience in Europe to lead bcgi’s growth to its client base in Spain.

“The Spanish telecom market is undergoing tremendous change as the influx of MVNOs reshapes the competitive landscape for service providers and operators looking to quickly introduce new products and services,” Moreno said. “bcgi’s innovative solutions will help customers compete effectively by attracting and retaining additional subscriber customers, thereby increasing their ability to drive additional revenue while lowering their costs.”

bcgi launched its MVNO Managed Services Suite in Europe and the Middle East earlier this year. The company employs almost 500 people worldwide and is headquartered in Bedford, Massachusetts; with offices in Westbrook, Maine; London; Madrid; Mexico City and Singapore; and development centers in Hyderabad, India; and Petah Tikva, Israel.

Stocks heads to lower open ahead

Wall Street headed for a lower open Wednesday with investors worried about the economic fallout if Detroit's Big Three automakers are unable to persuade lawmakers to give them a $25 billion bailout.

The market will again be glued to testimony given during the session by top executives from General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler LLC. They are asking Congress for a massive infusion of cash to prevent millions of layoffs, stave off bankruptcy and stabilize the companies.

Investors are concerned at the repercussions should any of the three automakers collapse, an event that could ripple through an already battered economy. Congressional Democrats have proposed using part of the $700 billion financial bailout package to pump into the ailing auto industry, but Republicans oppose such an approach.
