FORT WORTH, Texas, Jan. 31, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- On Jan. 29, 2007, T.A. "Kip" Hyde, Jr., the President & COO of Teletouch Communications, Inc. and CEO of Hawk Electronics (Pink Sheets:TLLE) joined the Market News First team for an exclusive interview about the company's Cingular(r) Wireless and related products and services. If you missed the Live IPTV broadcast of this interview Monday, you can still catch the entire podcast on MN1.com's "Downloads and Podcasts."
During the interview, Hyde broadly touched on the company's long history in the wireless industry, trusted brand identity, its current position with shareholders and various technology trends direct from their recent review of the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Hawk Electronics is a leading independent retailer of Cingular Wireless services in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and is also the leading provider of cellular services to local government agencies throughout North Texas. The segment discussed how Hawk Electronics differs from normal resellers and agents by using their own billing platform and local call center (located just outside Fort Worth), providing customized billing applications for their largely consumer, B2B and B2G subscriber base. Hyde discussed how their call center supports approximately 90,000 cellular subscribers who've purchased their wireless plans from the nearly thirty Hawk Electronics retail stores and authorized Hawk agents, plus its own direct sales force.
