iLinc Launches New Environmental Initiative to Promote Reduction of Harmful Green House Gases

iLinc’s Web Conferencing Software Uniquely Suited to Impact Global Warming

PHOENIX, Arizona (February 01, 2007) –

iLinc Communications, Inc. (AMEX:ILC), developers of Web conferencing software and audio conferencing solutions, today announced the launch of its iReduce(TM) program that is designed to foster the use of Web conferencing to directly and materially impact global warming. Through iLinc’s iReduce campaign and use of new online tools, customers may now proactively raise awareness of the Carbon Dioxide emission reductions that can be achieved by utilization of iLinc’s Web collaboration software and services.

The iReduce program has three core components. The first component is designed to provide online tools that provide immediate and detailed information concerning the positive impact that usage of Web conferencing may have on the reduction of harmful green house gases. iLinc’s award-winning software will now automatically calculate the distances between online participants during each session, and then using certified carbon reduction calculators provide a calculation of the tons of carbon dioxide emissions that were saved during the online meeting. The second component of the iReduce program will extend to qualifying carbon-neutral companies and non-profit organizations discounts on the purchase and utilization of iLinc’s software and services, which is designed to reward companies that have committed to positively impacting this important global issue. The third component is an inward facing one that is designed to make iLinc a better corporate citizen by becoming carbon-neutral itself by the end of this year.

iLinc will launch a new version of its Website tomorrow that will provide further details on participation in the iReduce program. iLinc also will launch its fully-integrated iReduce carbon reduction calculator in version 8.5 of the iLinc Suite(TM) that is due for release in mid February. Customers will be able to calculate the immediate positive impact that use of Web conferencing has had on the environment and share that information with co-workers and online guests. More information about the iReduce program will be found on the Company’s new Web site located at www.ilinc.com .

“We know that our technology is used by thousands of people on a global basis every day to reduce local automobile trips and airplane travel, while also increasing business efficiency. It seemed natural and worthwhile to provide customers with an accurate and tangible measure of the positive impact that their actions were having on our environment. We hope that our new iReduce program will help customers get involved in what we view as an important corporate program and global initiative. While iLinc’s direct impact is small in global terms, we believe that extension of our conferencing software and our iReduce program to our customers, partners, vendors and other organizations will make a material difference,” said James M. Powers, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of iLinc Communications.
