/R E P E A T -- Leading Independent Proxy Firm Recommends Total Telcom Inc Shareholders VOTE FOR Management Nominees/

KELOWNA, BC and EDMONTON, March 26 /CNW/ -- 
KELOWNA, BC and EDMONTON, March 26 /CNW/ - TOTAL TELCOM INC. (TSXV: TTZ) Total Telcom Inc. ("Total Telcom" or the "Corporation") announced today
 that ISS Canada, Canada's leading independent proxy firm and an
 affiliate of Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS"), has
 recommended that Total Telcom shareholders vote FOR the slate of
 management nominees in a proxy contest.


"We are very pleased that, after an independent and comprehensive
 review, ISS has recommended that a vote FOR management's nominated
 Directors is warranted" said Neil Magrath, CEO and Chairman of Total
 Telcom.


ISS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR MANAGEMENT NOMINEES


ISS closely analyzed both management's and the dissident's slate of
 nominees. The following were noted by ISS when making their independent
 recommendation:


    --  A vote FOR the slate of management nominees is warranted as it
        is felt that shareholder interests would be better served by
        the existing team than by entrusting the company to an untried
        set of new nominees.

    --  In regards to "the dissident slate, we recommend that
        shareholders do not vote."

    --  The dissidents are mostly not shareholders and it is not clear
        whose interests they are representing.

    --  In regards to the dissidents concern on the stock price of the
        Corporation's shares, ISS notes that, "As with other technology
        companies, the price seems to have boomed in 2000 and crashed
        thereafter. Hence the erosion of shareholder value is something
        that occurred quite some time ago. Similarly the payment of
        commission dates back to 2006 and there is no immediate
        relevance of this payout."

    --  The dissidents have not provided any clue how they would set
        about turning the situation.



A VOTE FOR THE MANAGEMENT NOMINATED DIRECTORS SUPPORTS 
LONG-TERM SHAREHOLDER VALUE


    --  The Corporation has been diligently building a solid foundation
        and is recognized today by Governments, Industry and the
        Military as a leader in Remote Control, Monitoring and Asset
        Management.
    --  Management has initiated strategies that will see the
        utilization of its vast knowledge and experiences targeted to
        larger commercial opportunities across North America with a
        focus on Asset Management, Utilities & Environmental
        Monitoring. New proprietary products are currently be being
        tested by a major equipment rental company, HVAC supply &
        distribution networks and the Department of Fisheries and
        Oceans.
    --  In addition to building growth from within, Total Telcom is
        actively seeking complimentary businesses to acquire or
        amalgamate with that have a high degree of economies of scale
        such as other public entities.



The meeting of Shareholders of Total Telcom will be held at 540, 1632
