We have moved to adjust upwards the total commission payout to our agents so as to remain competitive in the marketplace. This has resulted in the recruitment of new agents who are proven producers. We have continued to trend upward in sales of wireless services and to make notable gains in the sale of new dedicated business accounts. These two areas of endeavor offer substantial promise for sustained growth. We have focused our efforts on improving product selections, pricing and cost structures for wireless, dedicated business services and VoIP.” Since becoming a public company six years ago, Cognigen has served over 820,000 customers worldwide who have purchased telecommunication and personal technology services and products from the Company’s websites. Each of the approximately 134,000 persons, who currently are registered as Cognigen agents, has a website that is replicated from the main www.ld.net site.
