“Here at netTALK we’re always looking to increase our offerings of high quality, low cost, easy to use communication and technology products and this includes our expansion into the entertainment category” says Cedric Guillory, Senior Director of Marketing at netTALK.com.
He states “CodecSys was selected after a rigorous testing and evaluation process that included quality assessment by both netTALK customers and by a random sampling of consumers. CodecSys was singled out for its flexibility, overall quality, performance, and lower bandwidth resulting in cost savings beginning at implementation and throughout the life of the project.” He goes on to say, “We are pleased to be moving forward with this partnership which helps extend our brand offerings and also maintain the quality and value our customers have come to expect from netTALK.”
