ACE*COMM Corporation (NASDAQ:ACEC), a provider of advanced OSS, value-added services, and network business intelligence solutions, today announced that an independent research report by iGR - “Mobile Phones, Children and Parental Controls”, August 2006 - has ranked ACE*COMM’s Parent Patrol(TM) as a leader in the parental controls marketplace. iGR is a market strategy consultancy focused on the wireless and mobile communications industry.

“From conversations with multiple mobile operators, we understand that the need to provide a solution that incorporates parental controls is one of the most pressing product strategies for wireless service providers today,” said Iain Gillott, wireless analyst at iGR and acknowledged mobile industry authority. “Our data clearly shows that there is a significant untapped mobile market with children, but the mobile operators must be responsible in addressing this opportunity. In the competitive wireless marketplace, operators need to provide the appropriate parental protection and management capabilities in order to responsibly target younger subscribers with parents’ blessings.”

According to the iGR report, “ACE*COMM, a leader in the parental control industry, is offering Parent Patrol and is a good example of a network-based product that has met with wide acceptance and a high level of interest from the mobile operators.”

iGR characterizes the market trend for parental controls as not being limited to Tier 1 operators, indicating that many Tier 2 and 3 operators are planning services that offer parents controls over their child’s cell phone usage. “It is not a question of if an operator will offer parental controls, but when,” said Mr. Gillott. “Carriers are already procuring these solutions. We can expect to see rollouts in this calendar year.”

“iGR’s research provides further confirmation that our Parent Patrol(TM) approach is right on track,” said George Jimenez, CEO of ACE*COMM. “Parent Patrol(TM) is not an expensive handset-based solution, nor does it require parents to sign up for a whole new service that includes proprietary handsets. Parent Patrol(TM) is a flexible network-based solution that can be added onto an existing family plan, lets parents apply restrictions on a per-child basis, and can include filtering to prevent kid’s access to communications and content that may be inappropriate. It is easy to market, can be offered to existing or new subscribers, encourages parents to bring younger children into family plans, and gives the service provider a good corporate citizen stamp of approval.” For more information on Parent Patrol(TM), visit: www.parent-patrol.com.
