iLinc Marks Continued Growth as it Surpasses Two Million User Milestone

Government, Financial Services, Technology, Education Sectors Among Leading Adapters of Web Conferencing

PHOENIX, Ariz. (November 15, 2007) –

iLinc Communications (AMEX: ILC ), a leading developer of Web conferencing software and audio conferencing services, announced today that more than two million people have now experienced an iLinc Web conference since it began its hosting service in 2004. The milestone comes just three weeks after the Company reported a 33 percent increase in software license revenues over the same three-month period last fiscal year.

Web conferencing, also known as online meeting or Web collaboration, is experiencing a high rate of growth. In their report earlier this year, Gartner predicted that forty percent of businesses world wide will frequently use Web conferencing by 2008.

“It’s remarkable that more than two million people have experienced an iLinc Web conference or virtual classroom session in such a short period of time,” said James M. Powers, Jr. , President and Chief Executive Officer of iLinc Communications. “We remain well positioned to capitalize on dramatic growth trends present in the industry. We have developed a significant client base in several vertical markets because of our product’s strength and we have aligned our sales efforts to continue to gain share in these markets.”

Fundamental to the Company’s user growth is its strong position in four key vertical market segments, specifically government, financial services, technology and education. iLinc offers its customers a highly flexible suite of products designed for meetings, conferences, webinars, learning and even customer support. Additionally, its flexible pricing models give organizations the power to choose from hosted or installed options depending on which solution is right for the customer. iLinc is fast becoming a preferred provider for large enterprises looking to leverage the product across multiple user groups.

iLinc’s strength in these key vertical markets comes from a solid foundation of customers and feature focus. Customers in the financial services market such as Charles Schwab, Aetna, and Citigroup choose iLinc for industry-leading data security and easy integration with other complementary technologies. More than a hundred notable higher education institutions including Tulane University and Cal State Fullerton use iLinc because of its robust learning functionality. Government entities such as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the State of Arizona, and The U.S. Army have selected iLinc for the product’s data security as well as iLinc’s ability to get users into Web meetings, even if they are in locked down environments.
