Introducing Internet Gold
Internet Gold is a leading communications and interactive media group in Israel with two principal operating activities. Our company’s subsdiaries are 012 Smile.Communications Ltd. and Smile.Media Ltd.
012 Smile.Communications is a growth-oriented communication services provider in Israel with a leading market position, offering a wide range of broadband and traditional voice services. 012 Smile.Communications’ broadband services include broadband Internet access with a suite of value-added services, specialized data services and server hosting, as well as new innovative services such as local telephony via voice over broadband, or VoB, and a WiFi network of hotspots across Israel. Its traditional voice services include outgoing and incoming international telephony, hubbing, roaming and signaling and calling card services. As a growth-oriented company, 012 Smile.Communications continually focuses on introducing new broadband services that allow it to expand its penetration into the communication market segments in which it currently operates, as well as access new market segments such as the large Israeli local telephony and mobile markets. 012 Smile.Communications has frequently been a leader in introducing new and innovative services and is the first company in Israel to provide VoB services and is the first to be granted a license to provide WiMAX-based services on a trial basis. 012 Smile.Communications offers its services to residential and business customers, as well as to Israeli cellular operators and international communication services providers, or carriers, through its integrated multipurpose network, which allows it to provide services to almost all of the homes and businesses in Israel. As of December 31, 2007, 012 Smile.Communications provided services to approximately 1,041,000 registered household customers and approximately 78,000 registered business customers. 012 Smile.Communications’ enterprise customer base consists of many of Israel’s leading companies, including 75 of the 100 largest companies in Israel which includes the two largest Israeli banks (as determined by Dun & Bradstreet) and the Government of Israel.
On December 31, 2006, 012 Smile.Communications acquired one of its principal competitors, 012 Golden Lines. We believe that the acquisition of 012 Golden Lines provides 012 Smile.Communications with the size and scale of operations necessary to effectively compete in its markets and with significant opportunities for cost savings and improved cash flow. Primarily as a result of this acquisition, 012 Smile.Communications is now one of the major communication services providers in Israel as well as one of the three largest providers of broadband and international telephony services.
Since 012 Smile.Communications’ initial public offering in October 2007, its ordinary shares have been listed on the NASDAQ Global Market (symbol:SMLC) and on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, or TASE. We currently own 72.44% of the ordinary shares of 012 Smile.Communications.
Smile.Media is a leading diversified Internet media company in Israel and its internet properties. As of March 31, 2008, Smile.Media had 17 Internet properties in its network, consisting of 12 online content websites and five eCommerce websites. Smile.Media also markets nine paid content or subscription services as part of its eCommerce business. In addition, it has exclusive rights to market advertising on a website owned by a third party.
