“I am particularly excited about three accomplishments this quarter,” said Hemi Zucker, j2 Global’s chief executive officer. “First, is the continued growth of our fixed subscriber revenue, which serves as a stable base upon which the rest of our business is built. Second, I am extremely proud of the efficiency with which the Company has integrated the recent acquisitions of Venali® and Data Haven and migrated and upgraded the my1voice™ customers to eVoice®. Our success with the Protus® acquisition and migration enhances our confidence to pursue larger acquisitions which is facilitated our cash and investment position of nearly $200 million. Third, we are continuing to see increased success with our cross selling programs, which we intend to expand in 2012.”
