Abu-Ghazaleh Intellectual Property Granted Internet Service Provider License

AMMAN ? July 4, 2006 ? The Jordanian Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) has granted Abu-Ghazaleh Intellectual Property (AGIP)- the leading regional firm for global IPR services- an Internet Service Provider (ISP) license.

This significant step is expected to enhance the electronic services which Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization (TAGorg) provides to its clients worldwide.

TAGorg Executive Director /Internet and Computer Services, Mr.  Bilal Kisswani, stated that all the IT-systems and services in the Organization?s offices all over the world will be connected via a ?Virtual Private Network? (VPN).
?This will contribute to the process of providing our clients with the best e-solutions and also offer the necessarily protection for their data and information in addition to confidentiality,? Kisswani pointed out.

He added that TAGorg?s technical team has already accomplished Phase I of the so-called ?Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity? scheme expressing hopes that the whole project will be completely finalized by the end of next year.

This ISP license, Kisswani pointed out, will also help the Organization in carrying out advanced future plans to implement new e-services such as video-conferencing and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) only in the Organization.

Becoming an ISP provider will also enable AGIP?s TAGI Domains to enhance the security and the registration of domain names.

The technical teams at Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization (TAGorg) / Internet and Computer Service Departments are currently finalizing the required technical programs and arrangements to make the license operational during this month.
