San Francisco — June 28, 2007 — Yipes Enterprise Services, Inc., the leading global provider of managed Ethernet services, announced today that it was a winner at the Communications Innovators Awards for the "Most Innovative Carrier Ethernet Service (Pure Play)." The awards were announced at the first annual Spring Leadership Forum held during NXTcomm 2007 in Chicago and co-hosted by consulting firm New Paradigm Resources Group (NPRG) and Telephony magazine.

The Forum included a roundtable discussion consisting of award recipients and moderated by NPRG, the nation's leading strategic consulting and research for innovators within the communications industry, and Penton Media's Telephony, a leading information resource for telecom service providers.
