Global Customer Base

Africa Opportunity Following the South Africa lead other African countries are

accelerating deregulation of their telecoms sector Kenya and Nigeria are leading this drive Africa’s Colonial legacy has meant that almost 99% of traffic

destined for another African country first left the continent to be switched (normally in Europe) and routed back again

This increased cost and reduced quality for the consumers Legacy PSTN’s have been surpassed by MNO’s Neural believes that as a neutral “pure play” Aggregator of

interconnect traffic that it can directly interface with the MNO’s and the VANs to create value and improve service to the whole ecosystem

As a Wholesale Clearinghouse Neural will focus on service support to all customers managing their traffic flows, CDRs, billings, Fraud Management etc

Changing landscape provides MNO’s with an opportunity for improved quality of service delivery at lower costs

Africa Broadband Expansion

South Africa - the African market leader.. South African Telecom deregulation is on going ICASA mandated reduction in the interconnect rates

effective March 1st which is threatening viability of SIM Gateways and LCR providers with an estimated 6 to 7 billion minutes of local and international traffic coming into play

Bandwidth demand is huge and growing Consumer telecom costs are still above first world

comparables Further interconnect reductions coming in the near future

and ICASA discussions are ongoing All MNO’s accelerating IP transition from TDM and PSTN

Legacy “Chinafication” of Africa strong and apparent in all African

countries

Neural’s South African Infrastructure

Neural’s competitive advantage! China / Africa focused Fast growing deregulating market Barriers to entry for most international Carriers are

high No TDM/PSTN legacy to overcome Consistent and Managed pricing Quality Network architecture with strong partnerships

already in place Cost incentive for all customers to be serviced via a

single focused neutral non competing service partner Ability to offer other value added services such as

fraud management and revenue assurance
