ACE*COMM's Parent Patrol(R) Driving CBW's New Parental Controls Service


GAITHERSBURG, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ACE*COMM Corporation (ACEC.OB) today announced its Parent Patrol® application has been deployed and launched at Cincinnati Bell Wireless (CBW) under CBW’s brand name, “Parental Controls.” CBW serves more than 500,000 subscribers in its licensed service territory, which comprises Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio, and areas of northern Kentucky and south-eastern Indiana.

“Today’s busy parents welcome the convenience and security of being able to reach their children via mobile phones,” said Eric Schimpf, general manager of Cincinnati Bell Wireless, “but many are concerned about problems of overuse and usage at inappropriate times. Parental Controls provides what parents are looking for – the ability to set reasonable limits on usage while allowing their children to have fun and participate in their social networks.”

“We’re very excited about CBW’s choice of Parent Patrol to drive its Parental Controls service,” said Jonjie Sena, ACE*COMM’s Vice President of Marketing for Value-Added Services. “It demonstrates not only the value of parental controls for mobile phones, but also its acceptance by parents as an important and useful tool in the complex job of raising children in today’s world.”

Sena points out that parental controls have gone mainstream in personal computers and video game terminals, so it is only natural they should be part of children’s mobile phone experience.

“CBW is clearly a market leader for this kind of innovative service,” Sena continued. “It puts them way ahead of their competitors when it comes to offering real, useful parental control services for today’s very connected families. Our technical teams worked together to make this product launch possible, and we’re looking forward to building on this foundation to create a rich roadmap of related services.”

CBW’s Parental Controls service launched on November 19, 2007. It retails for $5 per month, per child subscribed to the service, on top of regular network charges. For more information, see Cincinnati Bell Wireless Calling Services and Parent Patrol » About Parent Patrol.

Parent Patrol provides parents with an intuitive Web-based interface to set allowance limits on their children’s mobile phone usage, including parameters such as time of day, numbers called or received, minutes used, and services accessed.
