Under the terms of its expanded relationship, Level 3 is the wholesale network carrier for the deltathree Outsourced Platform solution, and deltathree is a member of the Level(3)Enabled(SM) Master Reseller program, a program that provides assistance in driving sales for select partners. As part of this program, Level 3 works with deltathree to identify and target prospective channel partners for the deltathree Outsourced Platform Solution including Tier 2 and 3 cable operators, telephony providers, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and other broadband providers. deltathree, in turn, is able to work directly with those partners and resell Level 3's (3)VoIP Enhanced Local service to provide robust and reliable private label VoIP solutions.

"Level 3 is focused on being the premier wholesale VoIP enabler.
