 PROFILE
In contrast to its pastoral Iowa setting, USA Global Link aggressively pushes its callback service around the world. Through its telecom network, which uses Internet protocol, USA Global Link enables callers from more than 170 countries to bypass expensive local rates; it calls them back on less expensive US lines, terminating calls in more than 220 countries. The company also offers toll-free numbers, calling cards, and teleconferencing services. As telecom competition sprouts overseas and rates are mowed down, USA Global Link is moving into fresh fields: subsidiary Global Online has set up general information Web portals to some 200 countries. PT Indosat, Indonesia's state phone company, owns 20% of the firm.
