Newburyport, Massachusetts – May 1, 2006 – Context Connect, Inc. (“CCI”), a leading provider of directory based connectivity services, today announced it has been awarded New Zealand Patent No. 524175 – A System and Method for Directory Services and eCommerce Across Multi-Provider Networks. The patent is focused on the ability to ‘find and connect’ individuals without requiring or needing the actual contact number (e.g., phone number) through a DNS-based contextual platform. The patent extends to directory-based connectivity calls as well as electronic transactions or eCommerce via mobile devices.

The patent describes methods for providing secure connectivity across disparate networks or service providers. Contextual, DNS-based directory listings are created by consumers or groups, while connectivity to individuals is made without revealing valuable customer information and data – thus ensuring a more appropriate way of getting connected (self provisioned contextual listings) through a private-based platform (no phone numbers revealed).

“We continue to build and grow our portfolio of intellectual property worldwide,” stated Sunny Ahn, CEO and President of Context Connect. “This patent provides our organization with a significant competitive advantage with any private, DNS-based directory solution in the New Zealand, specifically around the wireless directory assistance (WDA) and contextual listing areas.”

The CCI solution enables cross-platform connectivity that allows individuals to find and connect to wireless subscribers across multiple devices and multiple provider platforms – thus directory assistance to ‘find and connect’ to mobile subscribers.
