One of the Leading German Service Provider Upgrades to FTS' Highly Flexible
Leap(TM) Billing 4.6

HERZLIYA, Israel, April 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FTS (LSE: FTS), a
global provider of Billing, CRM and Business Control solutions for
communications and content service providers, today announced that freenet
AG, one of Germany's leading internet and telecommunications companies, has
decided to upgrade its charging and billing systems to FTS' newest release -
Leap(TM) Billing 4.6.
freenet AG will be upgrading its existing FTS billing platform to the
latest version of FTS' Leap Billing. This upgrade will offer freenet enhanced
billing flexibility and in-house control, implementing real-time billing
decisions on the basis of business rules that can be defined and updated
without the need for vendor intervention. The upgrade is testimony to the
quality of the FTS solution and the strength of the relationship that FTS has
developed with freenet AG.
freenet AG, the result of a merger between freenet.de AG with mobilcom AG
in March 2007, is a provider of Internet, landline and mobile telephony
services. In 2004, the company implemented FTS' flagship Leap Billing
solution for rating, billing and customer care of its voice, broadband and
data services.
Running over the most advanced environments, the latest version of FTS'
Leap Billing will be used by freenet AG to support its traditional voice,
carrier preselect voice, broadband, dial-up Internet and VoIP services, in
addition to content and e-commerce services offered via the freenet portal.
The upgrade will provide freenet AG with new modules for business planning,
customer contact and inventory management. Additionally, it will offer
enriched capabilities to independently define and update business rules for
charging and billing, enabling immediate responses to business policies
within multi-service environments, with dynamic cross discounting and
promotions.
"FTS has repeatedly demonstrated unparalleled professionalism throughout
the last four years of working with freenet," said Nicolas Tetau, Billing
Manager, freenet AG. "We have found FTS' market leading Leap Billing solution
to be extremely flexible, enabling us to implement new services and bundles
easily and cost effectively."
"We are delighted to be building on our longstanding relationship with
freenet with this upgrade to Leap Billing 4.6," said Gil Hurwitz, FTS' Chief
Operating Officer. "We pride ourselves on offering billing solutions that are
not only technologically innovative, but also meet our customers' needs for
flexibility and in-house control. This upgrade is testimony to our success in
meeting freenet's needs within complex, multi-play scenarios."
Leap Billing is a real-time charging and billing solution that allows
providers to bill for convergent, next-generation services delivered over
single or multiple network technologies. Based on FTS' patented
business-control technology, Leap Billing captures events in real time and
responds to them based on a preconfigured set of business policies or
actions. This flexibility and ease of use enables the operator to bring new
services to customers quickly and economically.
