(THIS WAS NEVER ISSUED) , March x, 2007 - National ISP, Netspace, today announced a record start to 2007 with above average growth in broadband sales driven in part by a strong take up by consumers for the company’s full service voice offerings, particularly its bundled VoiP and broadband plans.

These included 10¢ flat rate VoIP calls to anywhere in and 4.9¢ per minute VoIP calls to many International destinations as well attractive home phone and broadband bundles, and standard long distance and pre-paid calling card options.
