Douglas D. Swift, President and CEO, commented, "Following a disappointing Q1, the results for Q2 are encouraging. Even though traffic volumes were substantially lower than the previous period, operating efficiencies were much improved, resulting in far superior net earnings for the quarter.

With the initial implementation of our new operating platform is close to completion, we anticipate the inherent cost savings to begin to materialize towards the end of Q3 and increase during Q4. The ability to share increased traffic volumes coupled with improved operating efficiencies will benefit both, our valued customers and TigerTel."
