Telecom Inc. to Begin Marketing Its Proprietary IPTV Service Directed to
America's Rural Heartland




RIVERSIDE,
Calif., April 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Competitive Companies, Inc. (CCI) (OTC
Bulletin Board: CCOP) has signed a vendor financing agreement worth $1,000,000
for the acquisition and marketing of IPTV services to be made available to six
of its California apartment properties and eventually to America's rural
heartland. This is a significant agreement allowing CCI to more effectively
compete with other providers in this space while delivering improved technology
and services says Ray Powers, President of CCI.






It
is expected that test trials for the service will be available within 90 days
which would include free testing of the technology prior to a service level
commitment. The service will include more than 5,000 total HD channels with
digital broadband Internet and low cost cell phone service available for every
resident. CCI has committed to market ninety thousand IPTV services over the
next 36 months representing more than $10,000,000 in revenues.






About
Competitive Companies, Inc.






Competitive
Companies, Inc. (CCI) is a Nevada Corporation with its principal offices in
Riverside, California. The Company began operations in 1998 to provide
telecommunication services of data, voice and video to multiple dwelling units
(MDU's) throughout concentrated tier one market areas of the United States. As
Congress passed 'open access' legislation to the MDU marketplace, larger and
greater capitalized organizations made it exceedingly more difficult for the
Company to compete. CCI expects to offer this new technology throughout rural
communities of America's Heartland utilizing fiber optics and fixed wireless as
its primary delivery choice. CCI has assembled a management team with
collectively more than 30 years of telecommunications experience including RF
engineering, software development, automation design and deployment, technical
