Total Telcom Responds to Dissident Circular

KELOWNA, BC and EDMONTON, March 23 /CNW/ -- 
KELOWNA, BC and EDMONTON, March 23 /CNW/ - TOTAL TELCOM INC. (TSX Venture: TTZ) Total Telcom Inc. ("Total Telcom" or the "Company") today responds to
 the dissident circular dated March 10, 2011 distributed by a group so
 called the "Committee to Save TTZ" (the "Dissident Group") in an
 attempt to take control of the Board of Directors of Total Telcom
 ("BOD").


Total Telcom urges shareholders to support the current BOD and oppose an
 attempt by dissidents to seize control of the BOD without paying a
 premium at an Annual and Special meeting scheduled for March 30, 2011.


BOD Take Over Attempt to Drain Cash Reserves and Dilute Shares


Total Telcom believes the attempt to take over the BOD is a guise and
 self serving attempt to drain the cash reserves and dilute the Company
 shares. Total Telcom's proposed Board of Directors interests are
 aligned with our shareholders, as evidenced by their ownership of
 5,046,114 shares or 20%, compared with 300,000 shares owned by the
 dissident group of nominees. The Dissident Group consists of 5 people. 
 They are proposing 4 nominees to act as directors.  Of the Dissident
 Group and proposed dissident nominees, ONLY 3 are shareholders of the
 Company.  Furthermore, of the 3 shareholders, these holdings seem to be
 a recent acquisition for the purpose of taking over the Company. The
 dissident's hand-picked nominees, with their conflicting loyalties,
 should not be relied on to advance the interest of Total Telcom
 shareholders.


Public Disclosure Taken Out of Context


The Dissident Group's Circular is comprised of public disclosure taken
 out of context and compiled in such a manner as to mislead Total Telcom
 shareholders. Statements regarding management's commission in 2008 do
 not reflect the earned nature of the payout or that the same management
 did not receive salaries or financial compensation for some 8 years
 prior to 2008. Moreover, the so called "Resignation letters" from
 former Directors were in fact the result of a failed attempt by these
 parties to take control of the BOD that would have resulted in the
 company being sold at a cash discount to participate in a speculative
 high risk resource deal.


Total Telcom Leader in Remote Monitoring and Control


Total Telcom is a technology company and while it has faced many such
 challenges since the collapse of the technology markets, it has in fact
 been diligently building a solid foundation and is recognized today by
 Governments, Industry and the Military as a leader in Remote Monitoring
 and Control. The Company is on the cusp of moving out of the
 specialized low volume custom market into the more lucrative mass
 commercialization with the launch of new products this spring. The
 Dissident Group has no technical experience and would have the
 shareholders believe it should dispose of these achievements and become
 a junior Mining Company. "Our shareholders invested in a technology
 company, not mining.  Don't let an unknown, disinterested group hijack
 your investment."


It has been brought to Management's attention that there has been
 misrepresentation to shareholders by third parties. Please be advised
 that the Company or any agent of the Company will clearly identify
 themselves to shareholders in the event you are contacted for your
 support.


Shareholders are being asked to vote on a number of matters, but the
 central issue Shareholders must decide is the composition of the board
 of directors of the Company since that will ultimately set the future
 direction of Total Telecom.  A vote for the management-nominated
 directors is a vote for a strategy focused on creating sustainable
 long-term shareholder value.


THE DISSIDENT GROUP IS NOT ACTING IN THE BEST INTEREST OF SHAREHOLDERS.
