> 
> New York - October 24, 2005 - FiberNet Telecom Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: FTGX), a
> leading provider of complex interconnection services, today announced the
> launch of Phonomenum, a carrier-class, ENUM-based technology platform that
> enables carriers, cable operators and Voice-over-IP (VoIP) service providers
> to
> establish peering connections and exchange VoIP traffic.
> 
> "Phonomenum answers the challenge of interconnecting multiple Voice-over-IP
> service providers to directly exchange VoIP traffic," said Ernest Hoffmann,
> Vice President of Engineering for FiberNet.  "This platform also incorporates
> a carrier-class implementation of ENUM to address the need for an extremely
> reliable, highly scalable service that can handle hundreds of millions of
> phone numbers as demand for VoIP service grows."
> 
> ENUM refers to the Internet Engineering Task Force protocol that maps
> telephone numbers to resources on the Internet in much the same way a Domain
> Name System architecture maps domain names and host names to IP addresses.  It
> is a key technology that enables VoIP calls to be routed directly between
> VoIP providers.
> 
> Phonomenum will be launched at the FiberNet 60 Hudson Street Meet-Me-Room and
> it will leverage FiberNet's extensive network infrastructure, facilities and
> capacity to interconnect over 650 service providers.

> understanding of client needs," said Jon A. DeLuca, President and CEO of
> Fibernet.  "With Phonomenum, FiberNet continues to be at the forefront of
> innovative technologies that will benefit our customers."
