Inteliquent (Nasdaq:IQNT), a leading provider of global interconnection and
interoperability solutions, announces today the formal rebranding of Neutral
Tandem and Tinet, as Inteliquent. The company's shares will start trading under

signifies a commitment to both our customers and our investors to deliver on
our strategic vision,' states Edward Evans, Chief Executive Officer of
Inteliquent. 'The name, 'Inteliquent' scales with our expanded product set, and
aligns well with our positioning as a global multi-services company that
provides intelligent solutions to complex problems in the industry.'

more complicated. To address this, we are providing intelligent solutions to
solve these challenges -- whether in voice, IP transit, Ethernet or hosted
services,' continues Surendra Saboo, President and Chief Operating Officer of
Inteliquent. 'At Inteliquent, we are building upon the breadth and depth of our
highly interconnected network, and developing solutions to solve tomorrow's
interoperability issues.'
