Bell Technology Group Announces Name
Change to Globix Corporation
New York, New York, June 1, 1998 – Bell Technology Group Ltd.
(Nasdaq Small Cap: BELT, BELTW) (BSE: BTG, BTGW) is changing its
name to Globix Corporation. (The new symbols are (Nasdaq Small
Cap: GBIX, GBIXW)( BSE: GXC, GXCW). Company President and CEO, Marc
H. Bell said recently, “As our business evolves and becomes more global
in nature, we are taking the opportunity to change our name to one
that more accurately reflects our planned global presence”. Mr. Bell
emphasized that this is a change of name only. “Our people and the
services we offer remain the same. We are, and will continue to be,
a leading provider of Internet service for New York businesses. As
our name changes to Globix, we have plans to make the company
more global in nature. In fact, our new name is derived from the words
Global Internet Exchange.”
“Globix is planning major infrastructure enhancements to make
the Company more global in its scope. The existing New York SuperPOP
facility is being expanded. In addition, new SuperPOPs are planned
in both San Francisco and London. Globix will expand its network,
and become a Tier 1 Internet backbone provider. To Globix customers,
the advantages of this expansion include faster routing of both originating
and terminating Internet traffic; the improved ability to serve new
audiences with dedicated access to the Internet; and visibility across
a wider geography. We will continue to be alert for opportunities
to acquire or partner with companies that will add to our ability
to provide world-class solutions to our customers,” Mr. Bell continued.
Globix will continue to provide sophisticated and innovative one-stop
Internet solutions, including dedicated Internet access, Web Hosting,
Co-location, network and systems integration, interactive media development
(including 2-D and 3-D animation) and instructor-led corporate training.
Mr. Bell concluded by saying, “As we move forward into the new millenium,
Globix will continue to provide excellence in services, always
looking ahead for new and better ways to help our valued customers,
solve their business problems and become more productive, efficient
and effective.”
