I strongly encourage our shareholders to begin taking advantage of our new online IR system, which demonstrates we are a fully accessible organization with a great developing story to tell.";
ONLINE INVESTOR RELATIONS MAXIMIZES SPEED, TRANSPARENCY AND ACCESS TO COMPANY
In response to overwhelming data representing the online research and communications habits of small-cap investors, Bell will expand its investor relations program to the web via the AGORACOM system to facilitate faster, better and more accessible communications with both current and prospective shareholders around the world.
