WHITE PLAINS, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/28/08 -- Pervasip Corp. (OTCBB: PVSP), an IP-based
communications service provider, announced the appointment of Scott Widham,
former Co-CEO of Broadwing Corporation, to its board of directors.
"We are pleased that a person of Scott's caliber is joining our board of
directors," said Pervasip's CEO, Paul Riss. "His business experience in the
cable industry and with Broadwing, which exceeded $875 million in annual
revenue before it was purchased by Level 3, will make him a valuable member
on the Pervasip board. Scott has already introduced us to two of the ten
largest cable carriers, and we anticipate that we can provide our SIP-based
voice-over-IP solution in the 'dead spots' that the cable carriers cannot
reach with their packet cable telephony product."
"The Pervasip team has done an incredible job in making the company a
significant force in the wholesale IP telephony world," said Scott Widham.
"I have been particularly impressed with the versatility and scalability of
the IP platform and the company's commitment to the open source movement.
I am especially looking forward to bringing their IP voice product to my
cable contacts, as the major cable carriers do not have a cost effective
solution for reaching their customers in secondary and tertiary markets. I
have been working with the company since November, and I am very excited
about what we may be able to accomplish in 2008."
Scott Widham, a Principal in CAS, LLC, a technology and telecom consulting
company, has been an entrepreneur in the media and telecom industries for
30 years. Mr. Widham currently serves on the board of directors of Priva
Technologies, Stages and Game Rail. Mr. Widham also serves on the Board of
Directors and as a member of the Executive Committee of Comptel, a
competitive telecommunications association. Most recently Mr. Widham was
Co-CEO of Broadwing Corporation, a voice, data and video service provider
acquired by Level 3. Prior to joining Broadwing, Mr. Widham was the founder
and CEO of Capital Cable, a multi-system operator that owned cable system
across the U.S. and in Latin America. Capital Cable was acquired by
Charter Communications.
