Growth of U.S. NetworX Defies Industry Trend [13th May 2003]

JACKSON, MS, May 13, 2003 – U.S. NetworX, a provider of nationwide Internet and e-business services, announced today that the growth of their customer base, excluding acquisitions, has exceeded expectations. Such growth is commonly referred to as “organic” because it represents the results of internal sales and marketing efforts, and does not include any increase in revenue resulting from the purchase of another company.

Over the past 12 months, U.S. NetworX’s web services revenue has more than quadrupled, growing an average of 22% each month, and their access services customer base increased at an average rate of 8% per month. This strong growth bucks an industry-wide trend where growth at many Internet companies has declined due to a weak economy and the resultant slowdown in demand for Internet services.

“I’m convinced we’re growing so fast because we push hard to do the things the other guys don’t,” said Meg Martin, U.S. NetworX Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “We’re proactive about client needs, we listen, and we respond promptly. 100% client satisfaction is the cornerstone of our business. We also have a network of Retail Partners that is second to none.”

After the tremendous boom of the ‘90s, a number of Internet companies have experienced declines in demand for access and hosting services as cost-conscious customers have cut back on expenses. Bankruptcies have become commonplace during the dot-com bust as projected demand for Internet services failed to materialize. Even former stellar growth companies like AOL, Adelphia, Covad, and WorldCom have fallen on hard times.

“We genuinely try to live by the Golden Rule and treat our clients the way we want to be treated, and that’s worked well for us,” said CEO David Crawford. “With 150 million Americans using the Internet, more and more businesses are realizing they need to have their products on the Net. As a result, I don’t see our growth slowing down anytime soon.”

U.S. NetworX is a national provider of e-business services, including website creation, maintenance, and hosting, website marketing, dedicated servers, and web security, as well as nationwide dialup and ISDN Internet access. Their website is located at www.usnx.com.
