VIPC Targets Lucrative China VOIP
Markets
Annual VOIP call traffic revenues in Asia
are projected to grow from US$230 million today to over $6.9 billion by 2005,
according to industry monitor IDG. One of the rising stars in this rapidly
developing marketplace is VIPC
Communications, a high growth company with escalating revenues and key strategic
partners in China.
Investment
Considerations: - Strategic alliance with Chengdu
Jiabin, a leading ISP and VOIP provider in China - one of the world’s
largest and most rapidly growing telecom markets - Alliance allows VIPC to enter
booming Chinese telecom markets at a low cost base. VIPC has option to
acquire 100% of Jiabin after payment of $2.7 M loan. - Partnership provides VIPC with 75%
of profits from all outgoing calls (once two-way network in place) and 25%
of profits from calls coming into China (infrastructure already
established) - Aggressive domestic and
international expansion underway: Infrastructure investment of $6 million
-VIPC now controls all major assets
and key strategic alliances outside China - VIPC/Jiabin’s combined call traffic
projected to rise from 48 million minutes annually to 304 million minutes
(two-way call traffic) in 2003
The agreement with Jiabin provides VIPC with immediate revenues, powerful
strategic alliances and entry into one of the world’s most vibrant
telecommunications markets. Key Alliance. Unlike numerous countries that have
deregulated their telecommunications industries during the last decade, at
present, government policy does not permit foreign ownership of
telecommunications companies operating within China.
VIPC’s business agreement with Jiabin allows
the company to participate in the revenues generated within the country’s
international telephone call industry, which have grown from US$1.29 billion in
1997 to over $6 billion in 1999.
At present, VOIP Telephony market share is estimated at only 5% in China.
By 2005, It is predicted that the call traffic market in China will reach 60
billion minutes, an estimated 15% of the global market.
Jiabin has already established a strong competitive advantage in this
rapidly growing sector as the lowest cost VOIP provider in Mainland China. The
company has negotiated a dramatically reduced rate on bandwidth leasing costs
from China Unicom and utilizes compression technology to further reduce
costs.
Expansion Underway. VIPC is actively
building an integrated VOIP network both within Mainland China and worldwide to
provide two-way call traffic for the largest populated region in the
world.
Under its agreement with Jiabin, VIPC is providing a five-year US$2.7
million loan to expand Jiabin’s domestic network from the current 8 locations to
a network of 20 locations.
Through Jiabin’s business partnership with China Unicom, China’s second
largest telecommunications firm, integrating these 20 locations into one network
will allow the company to supply VOIP to over 300 cities in China.
VIPC will invest an additional US$3.3 million to expand Jiabin’s
international POP network to at least 20 cities worldwide.
Within the next three months, VIPC will set up initial POP operations in
Moscow and New York and enlarge its present Hong Kong hub.
Other POP sites are currently being evaluated in Japan, Thailand,
Indonesia, North America and Europe in cities with large Chinese
populations.
At present, Jiabin’s existing infrastructure only places calls coming in
to China. As VIPC builds its
network outside of China and two-way communications commence, revenues are
expected to increase exponentially and traffic is expected to grow from
approximately 48 million minutes annualized in 2000 (one-way termination service
to Mainland China) to approximately 304 million minutes (two-way call traffic)
in 2003.
Once the two-way network is in place, VIPC will receive 75% of the
profits on revenues generated by calls made from China to VIPC’s network outside
of China.
Importantly, China Unicom has indicated it will increase its outgoing
traffic through Jiabin’s and VIPC’s international network when Jiabin’s 8-city
network in China is fully integrated.
Profitable from the outset, VIPC receives 25% of the profits from
international calls coming into China, retroactive to January 1, 2001.
Dominating Position. VIPC’s strategic
partnership with Jiabin effectively aligns the company with some of the largest
domestic and international telecoms.
Jiabin has multiple joint-venture and co-operative agreements in place
with state-owned China Unicom and China Telecom.
Jiabin sells long-distance calling cards under the China Unicom name and
extends the company’s reach to cities outside Mainland China’s borders.
Jiabin has assigned to VIPC its assets outside Mainland China and its
agreements with telecom giants Q-east, Worldcom, PSI Net, Hong Kong Telecom and
Russian Mars Communication Net.
High Growth. Profitable since the initial
VOIP development, Jiabin has shown strong growth in the last few years, with
revenues rising from just under US$350,000 in 1998 to US$2.6 million in 1999 and
US$3.6 million in 2000, with before-tax profits of US$443,000 in 1999 growing to
US$608,000 in 2000.
The prospects for continued growth remain high. Combined revenue
projections for Jiabin and VIPC indicate major growth and profits in the years
ahead. Revenues in excess of US$18
million are projected for the year 2001. By 2003, revenues are expected to reach
over US$52 million, with an expected after-tax profit of approximately US$5.6
million.
As one of the first foreign-owned companies to enter China’s vast VOIP
market, VIPC Communications Inc. (OTCBB:VPCM) is positioned to emerge as a
telecom leader in Mainland China in the years to come, as the company embarks on
a major phase of expansion and profitable growth.

Strategic
Partner
VIPC’s strategic partner, Chengdu Jiabin Electronic Co. Ltd. (Jiabin) is
a leading provider of Internet access and VOIP headquartered in the city of
Chengdu, Sichuan Province, PRC. Originally founded in 1992 as a personal
computer sales and services company, Jiabin expanded into Russia in 1995 with
the first Chinese-Russian wireless paging system. The same year, Jiabin was
granted a license to operate a cross-province e-mail service in Mainland
China. In 1997, the company was licensed as an Internet Service Provider
(ISP) by the IT Ministry of China. Through agreements with China Telecom and
China Unicom, Jiabin become the first ISP to offer VOIP Telephony service,
operating in eight cities in 1999.
In September 2000, the company began to build its worldwide integrated
VOIP network and was awarded a license to operate long distance VOIP in St.
Petersburg and Moscow. Profits
to date from its highly successful VOIP ventures have allowed Jiabin to emerge
as the lowest cost dial-up ISP in Mainland China and a key player in the
development of ADSL broadband access and China’s first Telemedicine network.
Under the recent agreement signed between VIPC and Jiabin, VIPC has the
option to convert its loan to Jiabin into 100% ownership of the company. This is
significant as China’s entry into the World Trade Organization requires that the
country begin to deregulate its telecommunications sector and open the industry
to foreign ownership.
With an anticipated equity financing of up
to US$7 million to immediately expand their integrated network, both VIPC and
Jiabin expect to be profitable in 2001. Rapid growth in call traffic is expected
to result in economies of scale and dramatically increase
profitability.
