Robert Rife, CEO and President of Diversified stated the following regarding Diversified's 10th anniversary, "Diversified Telecommunications Consulting is proud to be the largest telecommunications brokerage firm in North America and since 1997 has been the pioneer of the telecom brokerage concept. We are proud of our accomplishments over our first 10 years in business, which include expansion of our business throughout North America; India, Pakistan and the Philippines and a total of over 2000 clients worldwide. In particular, we are especially proud of the consistent financial results we have achieved in an industry that has been littered with financial failure and bankruptcy. Diversified's success in an industry where most have failed is directly attributable to our commitment to our clients and their resulting loyalty to us. We may win the business our clients by saving them money, but every Diversified customer will attest to the fact that the long term value they find in a relationship with Diversified are the higher, more personalized and attentive levels of service we provide to our customers, which are unparalleled by any phone company."

Bob Rife, CEO and President of Diversified said of the acquisition, "Our pursuit of Choice Communications was as much about the personnel we gained as it was about the customers we acquired in the process. Diversified was able to obtain two marquee customers in the financial services and healthcare sector, with anticipated revenue contribution of over $1,000,000.
