MCLEAN, Va., and London, U.K., May 1, 2007 – Global Telecom & Technology, Inc.

About Global Telecom & Technology, Inc. (GTT)
Formed in October 2006, following the acquisition by Mercator Partners Acquisition
Corp. of Global Internetworking Inc and European Telecommunications & Technology
Limited, Global Telecom & Technology, Inc. ("GTT") (OTCBB:GTLT - News) is a new
type of service provider: a Multi-Network Operator ("MNO").
As a Multi-Network Operator, GTT does not own the infrastructure upon which its
services are provided. Instead, GTT designs solutions based on its customer's
requirements, using a combination of telecommunications networks and technologies.
Unlike traditional network centric carriers, GTT provides best-of-breed solutions by
procuring, integrating and managing components of these various networks on its
customers' behalf. GTT has taken the inherent advantages of the Multi-Network
Operator approach to a new level through a combination of powerful network design and
pricing tools; a global service footprint; a deep and broad set of strategic vendor
relationships; and above all, an expert team committed to delivering outstanding end-to-
end customer service.
Headquartered in McLean, Virginia and with offices in London, Paris, Düsseldorf, New
Delhi, and New York, GTT provides a global service footprint covering more than 50
countries, and it has more than 200 customers and in excess of 100 carrier partnerships
around the world. For more information visit the GTT web site: www.gt-t.net
