012 Smile.Communications Submits Application for Mobile WiMAX
Trials in Tel Aviv- Ramat Gan
Sunday May 4, 2:27 am ET
PETACH TIKVA, Israel, May 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Internet Gold - Golden
Lines ltd (Nasdaq: IGLD; TASE) reports that her it's subsidiary 012
Smile.Communications (Nasdaq: SMLC; TASE), a growth-oriented provider of
communication services in Israel, today announced that it has applied to
Israel's Communications Ministry to expand its license for mobile WiMAX trials
to allow an expanded trial in the Tel Aviv-Ramat Gan area, Israel's most densely
populated business and residential center. Through the trial, the Company plans
to provide users with an Internet connectivity rate of up to a high 10MB, a
speed sufficient to support both mobile telephony and a variety of
Internet-based applications. The trial will utilize WiMAX technology provided by
Alvarion (Nasdaq: ALVR - News).
012 Smile.Communications was the first Israeli company to receive a license for
the operation of a fixed WiMAX trial in March 2007. Later, the Company, in
partnership with Alvarion and Intel, expanded the trial to bring WiMAX-based
Internet and telephony services to the city of Sderot, currently a security
challenged region in Israel's Western Negev. Under the framework of this
innovative initiative, the Company brought connectivity to kindergartens and an
elementary schools that had relocated in light of the security situation, and
established a Mobile WiMAX area covering the campus of the region's Sapir
Institute.
Ms. Stella Hendler, President and CEO of 012 Smile.Communications, commented,
"We view Mobile WiMAX as an important technology for supporting a portion of the
mobile services that we intend to roll out in the future, and our Tel Aviv trial
is one more link in a chain of the activities that are preparing us to launch
countrywide services. As soon as the Ministry of Communications grants us the
required licenses and terms, we will be ready to enter the cellular market as an
additional operator. Through the provision of services that combine MVNO, Mobile
WiMAX and Mobile VoB (both VoB over 3G and VoB over Wi-Fi ) technologies, we
believe that we will be able to offer attractive cellular services, both from
the standpoint of price and from the technological advancement of our
offerings."

012 Smile.Communications Ltd Announces That it has Been Notified of a Proposed
Class Action Lawsuit With Respect to its International Calling Cards
Sunday May 4, 2:38 am ET
PETACH TIKVA, Israel, May 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Internet Gold - Golden
Lines ltd (Nasdaq: IGLD; TASE) reports that her it's subsidiary 012
Smile.Communications (Nasdaq: SMLC; TASE), a growth-oriented provider of
communication services in Israel, today announced that the company received a
monetary claim and an application for permission to file it as a class action
lawsuit against it, as well as against Netvision 013 Baraq Ltd.
The claim was filed in the Petach Tikva District Court by a citizen of the
Philippines who is employed in Israel, and who claims to have used the
international calling cards of two international telephony companies to call
abroad. The purported plaintiff claims that the two international telephony
companies improperly calculated the length of the international calls in
whole-minutes units rather than in one-second units. The purported plaintiff
also alleges that he and others were over charged due to a longer call duration
calculation than the actual duration of the calls and that he and others were
not informed about the per-minute calculation policy.
The purported plaintiff seeks court permission to file the claim as a class
action lawsuit by virtue of Israel's Class Actions Law on behalf of groups of
persons that include anyone who purchased calling cards distributed by one of
the two international telephony companies during the seven year period prior to
filing the claim or during the term of the proceedings. The purported plaintiff
has alleged that the damages caused to all members of the purported class by
both companies total approximately NIS 158 million.
The company has not had an opportunity to review the claims with its counsel and
is unable to provide any comments at this time.
