mPhase Technologies CEO Sees Enhanced Opportunities With Combined Lucent-Alcatel

Posted on: Wednesday, 5 April 2006, 12:00 CDT

The chief executive of mPhase Technologies (OTCBB: XDSL) today asserted that the proposed combination of Lucent Technologies and Alcatel could enhance collaboration with the merged enterprise.

In a statement, Ronald A. Durando said:

"The proposed Lucent and Alcatel merger could lead to enhanced opportunities for mPhase. Both Lucent and Alcatel are committed to leveraging their intellectual property. The Lucent-mPhase relationship remains strong and focused on commercializing Bell Labs innovations like our nanostructured battery and magnetometer.

"As we maintain this momentum with our dedicated Bell Labs development team as part a stronger, consolidated company, we will look forward to strengthen our nanotechnology business with increased investment."

Durando noted that the nanobattery development was featured in the February, 2006 edition of Scientific American. Titled, "Miniaturized Power," the four-page article noted that Bell Labs, where the transistor was invented, "has now become involved with the reinvention of the battery" by shrinking electrodes to nanometer scales.
