Los Angeles, California -Dial-Thru International Corporation (OTC BB: DTIX) today announced that its network and switching facilities in Caracas, Venezuela are operational and passing international telecommunications traffic. DTI Venezuela expects early penetration of this telecom market of over 24 million people spending $2.5 billion on telecom products and services.

"Since the opening of our offices in December, we have established numerous relationships within the telecommunications community who are eager to begin business with DTI," stated Carlos Borjas, President of DTI Venezuela. "DTI's unique approach of targeting small to medium size businesses with demand for services that can be derived from IP technologies builds customer loyalty and better margins. We will start with Internet access, international faxing and other data services, and expand to include VoIP, Unified Messaging, and other enhanced Internet telephony services very soon."

Larry Vierra, Executive Vice President of DTIX, added, "We recently announced the initiation of services in Argentina, and now with our Venezuelan link up and running, we have two key parts of our Latin American strategy in place. These two countries together represent a market of almost $10 billion annually. More importantly, by establishing a presence here, we are well positioned to participate in the over $50 billion Latin American market. A market that has low telecom penetration, and is expected to continue to provide excellent growth opportunities for the foreseeable future."
